My conclusion is that GMs are not very bright, especially compared to agents.

Was Ed Herrera of DSL team one of Paddy's picks?

Back to Vargus. Getz obviously played right into Dodgers' plans. No way were they going to keep Vargus on the roster once their injured guys came back. He had DFA written all over him. Getz could have waited 2 weeks and he would get Vargus for a token.

Robert and Moncada represent the two highest front end MLB signing bonuses of all time, and it's not even close.

Quero next year. I think he would increase the collective offensive output from our three 2024 catchers.

Reminds me of Mike Musina.

I don't have the energy to go over the rosters of all 29 other teams to see if there is a theoretical fit for Vaughn, but I think you exaggerated.

Davis Martin rocks.

Cease left after 1 inning.

Horrible trade. Shields was bad enough, since he couldn't get anyone out in San Diego. So why throw in Tatis, who we had just given a $750k signing bonus. I'm still shaking my head over that one. And I said so a day after the trade. Welcome back.

But Vaughn is not the problem. Not even close.

They are a pair to draw to.

This year's Sox Team reminds somewhat of a bad Cubs team years ago when Harry Carey had the mic. Cubs weren't this bad, but they lost a lot that year, and Harry would start out by saying the two teams are tied 0-0 at start of game, and then all of a sudden they're behind. I hope Cannon does not put himself in a hole by walking 3 A's in first inning. Bush was lucky to get out of there after 4 innings down only 3-1. Very lucky. But, the die was cast. No more offense, and Sox went down quietly, just like they are supposed to. Pitch a shutout, Cannon. That's my advice.

Tell me again who is Aldrin Batista. Where did we get him?

He can still hit the ball hard. Balt will tweak his stance and power will ensue. Then he gets hurt.

I like Baldwin at short.

Yep. Latest was third baseman Herrera. Makes me wonder how the DSL continues every year. I wonder what that annual budget figure is. Maybe I don't want to know.

It'll probably be over a year until I can see the red-hot Twins prospect that Getz turned down for Fedde, but he was just the type of return I was hoping for. Instead, we got Vargus, and I have seen him with my own eyes. Getz has a discernable flaw.

Fedde for a high Twins prospect who can hit.

Sox just can't get out of the 8th inning, every game.

It was an ill-conceived lottery.

Remember when Ted Turner took over for a day. Somebody tell Jerry.

Plus, they got to pitch to opposing pitchers. Baseball was more fun to watch then, as I recall through my hazy memory.

Expect a few rainouts in the Southeast this weekend.

Wow. Even the boys at PTI threw the Sox under the bus tonight. Worst ever. Unquote.
