I'd temper some expectations with Gonzalez. We all know how Truist Field plays, and his home/road splits are quite drastic... Home: .356/.468/.856/1.324 Away: .253/.349/.407/.756 I hope he really has figured some stuff out (I hated when they drafted him), and it would be nice to have another success story - but I do think the vast majority of his performance is more along the lines of a MiLB park factor than anything else.

I honestly think they'll be ok. It always hurts to lose your best bat, but this team has a never give up mentality and continue to amaze me the way the figure out how to win games. Might be a good test for them.

Acuna making more and more appearances at SS. Gotta think they are exhausting all reasons to potentially keep him around. He has to be on the chopping block with the inevitable return of Hayes.

Doesn't seem like anyone is reporting what happened. Maybe one of the FutureSox guys can provide an update.

Except those players could scratch an itch on Roch's ass. His pedigree is substantially higher than all those players listed.

This is my main concern. I'm not gonna discredit claims he has a higher ceiling than Roch or even may end up the better player at the end of their careers, but give me the safer bet. Sox shouldn't over think this. Do the due diligence, but not going Roch at 1-1 would be a mistake IMO.

I honestly really like the challenge system. It adds a whole new dynamic to watching games in person when that slow reveal hits the Jumbotron.

I was told by many Derek Hill was worthless.

It's a great problem to have that the Sox arguable have never had. They'll figure out pitching when they need it.

Thomas does have 1 more MiLB option left, so he wouldn't be required to stick on the active roster.

Same. I'm not sure who he is replacing on the active roster. Bido?

This is bs. That guy isn't affiliated with either FS or JBB, and he deleted it.

I think there's an argument that Smith > Kay at this point. At least Smith's stuff will miss bats.

He probably should, but he isn't getting deep into any games in Charlotte. I'm sure most of that strategy is probably by design, but I just can't see him being all that valuable to the MLB team at the moment if he is failing to get through 5 innings. It's really confusing how they are handling him.

And to think people wanted to keep him. This is what Robert is. The guy just simply cannot stay healthy.
