Is Eloy Our “He Who Shall Not Be Named”?
It’s either catcher or 1B and if Tim ends up at catcher...well you have you answer.

Spring Training thread
Man the best thing would be if after a month and the team is 20-10 or something, and we start hearing quotes from guys leaking out saying how much they love the new winning culture and playing for TLR.

Super excited about the UK volunteer study to deliberately expose people to Covid. Why this took so long I have no idea

MLB 2020-21 off season catch all
Right. But like I said, this 2021 team is still a prequel of our better years to come. I think we’re way better than the Yankees on paper so the path to the WS is there. Even this year, which is a year or two early

MLB 2020-21 off season catch all
Maybe. But I think it’s a coin flip whether it’s a problem or a strength. Michael Kopech. Very arguably still the absolute best starting pitching prospect in baseball. This is a huge year for him. If he comes out and proves he’s the best starting pitching prospect in baseball then all my worries go away. It’s a coin flip, which is actually really good odds

MLB 2020-21 off season catch all
What michael said but also in a year or so the Sox might have the following: best CF in baseball best LF in baseball top 3 3B in baseball top 5 SS in baseball Top 5 2B in baseball top 5 1B/DH in baseball top 3-5 C in baseball Legit aces Gio & Kopech with Cease banging down that 1-2 door. The most ridiculous young bullpen ever assembled that won’t even miss a beat when Hendriks departs. This isn’t even dream world really. The Sox have it set up where they really only have to supplement the back of the rotation and RF in free agency...for the next half decade minimum. Okay back to sniffing glue. It’s horse glue cut me a break

MLB 2020-21 off season catch all
Absolutely. People somehow think this is now a 2-3 yr window. We have multiple super elite prospects joining the team this year. We’ll probably win the World Series this year and this team is STILL a prequel of the coming juggernaut

Mariners president and CEO Kevin Mather's Zoom Call
Are you saying that because our FO hired TLR that they would look the other way if say KW pulled a Mather? I’m not sure I see the connection

MLB 2020-21 off season catch all
Knowing Jerry is cheap I totally expected zero spending this offseason due to Covid. According to spotrac, we’ve spent the 7th most in FA. One has to wonder how much the Sox were planning to spend this year before Covid hit. Kinda cool, maybe?

Anderson is our giant middle finger. He’s 1st.

Foodies: Sox/Giolito discussing an extension?????
Exactly. And if the Sox wait and Dunning regresses even a tiny bit you can’t trade him for a Lynn-type. It was a risk but I think that the Sox might have seen this as selling high on Dunning.

Fangraphs projects Abreu to have the largest dropoff in WAR next season - in the entire MLB!
Donny please

Fangraphs projects Abreu to have the largest dropoff in WAR next season - in the entire MLB!
It’s strange. It works for Dunning somehow

Foodies: Sox/Giolito discussing an extension?????
That’s not indicated at all. Maybe they saw Dunning as basically a non-contributor

Same. He’s legit. Never thought I’d say that. He’s really good. Still jacks up a few hero balls tho...

Maybe it’s cuz I spent $99 on the nba package, but damn, I like watching them play. Haven’t felt that way since prime Noah/Rose

Really cool story

So a Giolito extension...
Absolutely. I think we’re pretty much a top 3 destination this decade. Hahn has a lot of cost certainty with those brilliant extensions no other team is doing. Let’s let it play out. So far, A+ across the board

Dodgers sign Bauer (3/102, opt-outs, 40-45-17)
Ok so now I’m hoping for this: 3/15: Michael Kopech signs extension ridiculously cheap, like 6/40 plus 2 options, as Gio signs expensive extension. Kopech then rips up ST, mysteriously allowing actual contact a few times (later determined to have been caused by Arizona mound imperfections), breaks camp and finishes second to Gio in CYA.

Colome to Twins, 1YR 5M plus option
Absolutely. People don’t realize just how absolutely stacked this team is. This is going to be a truly historic run of dominance.

Realistic expectation for Vaughn in 21
Hell yea. I can’t wait for all the shutting up when we start like 15-2 and win over 105 games.
