Yea I probably went overboard. But yea, Fluff writer. Staff writer. Kinda go hand-in-hand. Regardless, we need to drive up the reply count on this Wheeler thread so the Sox won't sign him. I believe there is a direct correlation between the post count on free agent threads and the Sox odds of singing that free agent.

Did you read the article? Its hot garbage and he is clearly "paid by the inch"

Ray is right though. Both of them jumped on the hype wagon, Garfien's podcast was pretty nice though... but Merkin specifically produced several fluff pieces of literally nothing, based only on the obvious that Wheeler was a free agent and the Sox need a starting pitcher.

if by inside you mean KaTyPeRrYsBOoTyHOlE?

a friend of mine was in those facebook chats and was sending my screenshots with all kinds of LUL emojis. Peavy44 is a legend (of sorts)

It could also mean nothing more than that they aren't paying him 6m to post a 600 OPS

my dumb-fan-brain wants to think they'll get everyone done by SoxFest so Hahn can roast the toxic fans calling him out (insert Thug Life meme here)

those are the threads for players the Sox DONT sign

* fingers crossed *

Then why wouldn't they just wait a week and non-tender him??

They can announce that they've agreed to terms... but when the player passes their physical, then they have to be added to the roster, and someone has to go at that point.

there's plenty of other low hanging fruit that could be cut loose if a signing was coming. Yolmer was gonna be on another team by spring training some way or another.

Castillo + Delmonico + Reed + Cordell + Skole + Rondon + Tilson + Jay + Alonso + Palka = - 3.8 oWar I really hope that the days of a portal between AAA and Bridgeport are over.

lost in the Grandal lovefest (me included) is the fact that we will NEVER HAVE TO ENDURE A DANIEL PALKA at-bat ever again

Soxtalk was up in arms over the Sox being cheap when they couldn't beat San Diego's deal for Machado, but 50 million for the "face of the franchise"" over the past 6 seasons while the team has been horrible, who is as classy of a player as you'll get, who is also fairly valuable... and we complain they overpaid. Jesus Fucking Christ people.

my phone lit up in the middle of a meeting and I couldn't look... and now that I have a million things to do I'm F5ing baseball web sites.

I was pretty butthurt we didn't sign Machado.... mostly because of what he represented in terms of a major shift to organizational philosophy. In hindsight, I am very relieved he did not sign with us.

13 pages and has anyone mentioned the Cuban connection with Grandal? PS: when can I buy a Grandal jersey T?

Watching lots of Dodgers games, I can tell you he is also a bit iffy and slow on plays in front of the plate... But we lived with ol AJ for what... 9 seasons?

WOW. just. wow. I will stop whining and b****ing now. Go get em, Rick.

That's.... unfortunate.

I think that the two are exclusive of each other. Vizquel's status is incidental to Rentaria's.

> Shoeless Joe Jackson has left the chat.

The Cubune agrees

I am on the east coast, so I am trying to plan when to spam F5 on soxtalk
