Detroit fans making almost more noise than Sox fans lol.

Because the topic was spending a high draft pick on a collegiate 1B. Pujols is the best counter example of why doing that is stupid. Pujols was not drafted until the 13th round of the 1999 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft, when the St. Louis Cardinals selected him with the 402nd overall pick.

Worst fWAR for contracts they are currently on per contract dollar of the two biggest deals in franchise history...

After Rafael Devers' $331 megadeal, what are the biggest contracts in Red Sox history? 1B Adrian Gonzalez — 7 years, $154 million. LF Manny Ramirez — 8 years, $160 million. P David Price — 7 years, $217 million. 3B Rafael Devers — 11 years, $331 million. Rafael Devers, Red Sox: $331 million (2023-34) Fine...but that's still not accurate.

Fine. But there's a considerable difference watching Romy Burger Sheets right now compared with all the veterans. They at least seem to enjoy the opportunity of being on that field. Benintendi continues to give off Pollock vibes after leaving NY and Boston.

Who else could it possibly be? Seriously...

Look at Pujols' obscure start at Msole Woods Community College in KC. Royals didn't even notice him in. their own backyard... but the cross-state Cardinales did.

Anderson just seems to have no plan whatsoever right now.

Pitch framing is dying and he can't throw out anyone in a game that's running completely contrary to his skills. Grandal and Benintendi must have the worst fWAR per $$$ of any top two contracts in MLB history. Should have known never to give four years to a catcher in his 30s when the highly analytical Brewers were only willing to go year to year.

ofc CLE and MIN tied 0-0 in fifth. Two teams that know how to pitch at least. If White Sox had Sonny Gray and Dunning instead of Lynn they would be much more competitive at least.

Cuban Connection just needs to be put to bed... that time passed with Abrey leaving. And it arguably saved Hahn's job for at least five additional years.

Or Sheets... who is suddenly back in the core lol.

Would probably be the best thing for Robert to get away from him and Yasmani who are just clocking in everyday for paychecks. Eloy... remains to be seen.

Error. Has to be.

Can anyone besides Burger Sheets and Romy maybe just try the iPitch machine?

Moncada is broken.

McKinstry and Raley two former Dodgers having solid seasons. Luis Robert will go down to September with Kiermaier for AL Gold Glove. Just saved two massive runs there.

Robert knew he wasn't running anywhere. MLB attendance up 6-7% overall YoY while Sox have the largest individual decrease lol.

Especially at home.

Promoting truly unlikeable players like an Albert Belle or Clevinger always on brand.

Semien and Tatis with lots of MVP votes lol. One thing that is true is that Sale would have been a complete disaster had they kept him with a long term extension. Franchise crippling.

Has to be for guys under $5 million like McCann Rodon Cueto Andrus last year.

Gotta tip your cap lol. He was actually really good his last two AAA starts. Seems to have found something.

Should sell "tapes" of this game as a highly effective sleep aid.

We could never spend $150 million for a real player. Or that player would be someone like Story or Baez.
