I don’t think a senile old man who falls asleep and shits his pants in the dugout, and makes horrific in-game decisions like IBB someone with a 0-2 count is all that intimidating.

If both do end up working out and make it to the majors, it’s a good problem to have. They can figure it out then. I don’t think he sticks at SS personally, and I think the Sox will end up putting him at 2B. A possible IF of Gonzalez (2B), Montgomery (SS) and Ramos (3B) would probably be the ideal scenario IMO.

This team is really something else.

Certainly seems that way. Crazy to pass on both Skenes and Crews, but they kind of did the same thing when they drafted Davis a few years back.

Zavala doesn’t belong in the majors. I’m plenty ok with him never playing again for the Sox ever.

BA’s latest mock:

Paywalled, so I’m not sure who he has going to the Sox.

If Tony loved it, we all should have known how bad it would have ended up. I still can’t get over how that HOF hack was the beginning of the end of the competitive window.

He's absolutely not finishing this year on the Sox. They better get something for him.

Ozzie would be a massive dumpster fire.

Would be great if he could be another cheap, controllable piece for the future.

They don't have the guts to drop him lower. It's really puzzling. IDK if he is truly that much of an issue or distraction in the clubhouse that they don't want to rock the boat or they're that dumb that they want him in the 2 hole.

I'm sure there's teams that look at him as a change of scenery guy. I'd be curious myself what would happen if you surrounded him with superstar talent (i.e. the Dodgers) and just let him play, batting 8th or 9th with zero expectations or pressure. He did really well in the WBC in a similar setting.

In-between his dugout naps and shitting his pants? No, this team would be the same if not worse with him.

I think it's Tim. Look at how the clubhouse reacted to his All-Star game selection compared to other teams. There's an issue there that I'm sure will come to light once he is no longer a Sox.

On of the more entertaining games been to all year. Shocked they still won.

I wouldn’t put it past Jerry to tell them Anderson must bat leadoff, and probably got his advice from TLR. Jerry is a Grade-A egotistical asshole that thinks he knows what he’s doing despite never actually winning anything outside of lucking into MJ and having the stars align in 2005.

Hard to get rid of loser mentality when it starts at the top. JR is a loser. KW is a loser. RH is most definitely a loser.

Sounds like a great alternative to me!

Move the team? No one is asking for that… Jerry will be dead soon. Unless anyone on this board is pushing 90, it’s a waiting game for this nightmare to end.

I don’t think he ever made sense tbh. He’s a 29 yr old in the most hitter friend park in the minors. Nice to see him getting an opportunity, but no one should be surprised covering anything of value from him.

On June 9th I was charged a full years worth for an Athletic subscription. I was able to get them to completely refund me. They claimed to understand my frustration, but didn't even really put up much of a fight and only offered me a discount to continue the rest of the year. I obviously took the refund and cancelation instead. If anyone is in the same boat, reach out and get your money back.

I cancelled mine today as well. Fegan was the only reason I subbed.

They’re going to get stomped by the Dodgers. That Lynn start will be something else to watch.

If they ever had a chance to steal this series from the Yankees this is it.
