This is going to be a very long and disappointing season.

I hope Yaz is DH'ing after an off-day isn't a sign of anything to potentially worry about.

Sox will be lucky to get a middle relief arm out of him. Between what he heard about his conditioning and his inability to throw strikes consistently, I don't see how this guy makes it past Double-A. He's trending towards Alec Hansen levels of production.

Pretty amazing the Barons are without a SB still.

Montgomery just hit a bases clearing 2B.

Severino also proves that 30 grade control usually doesn't translate to success at the major league level no matter how hard you throw.

It one of the arms the Sox got back from the Brewers when they traded Xavier Cedeno to them.

Blewett and Bummer potentially in the same pen is gold.

I've always thought it's crazy that not all of these guys were protection on their elbows and shins.

Great. This system needs a huge jump with their pitching depth.

Who had Dallas with more K's than Ray on their bingo card?

Yeah he belongs at 2B in Charlotte. It's so obvious with Remillard and Rivera splitting time there now that they are just place holders.

What were the Blue Jays thinking? Honestly? I love McGuire. Just a damn solid ballplayer for a backup.

Have to wonder what Mike Rodriguez heard that made him jump last night. Bobs tweet makes it sound like they haven’t even been in discussions recently.

And also makes no sense.

Here's our favorite foodie getting in on the action. I'm not saying I believe it, but I do think that might be what it takes.

Not necessarily, a 99 mph FB right down the middle is a hell of a lot harder to square up than a 92 mph fastball right down the middle.

Banks used to be a starter, there’s other options. Hell, even Foster can go multiple.

Severino has much better stuff too.

Holy shit, had no idea. Here’s to making a full recovery!

He's been good for a while. His slider is a legit weapon. I don't know if I would go so far to say he's a comparable replacement for Crochett, but I think he has a shot at having a career in a major league bullpen.

What a debut for Banks. Congrats.

He's growing on me. I feel like he's gonna take that fan favorite spot that Hamilton had last year, but actually deliver more results.

Man, I am really worried what's going to happen if Keuchel gets that option to vest. Having his money off the books would give the Sox plenty more to play with for next year. I know there's been many on here saying they will find a way, but can we really keep telling ourselves that with Lynn and now Gio out?
