Our front office makes boneheaded decisions? Unless you are implying Yermin is more important than those players, and they didn't think he was ready. Those guys got pumped and dumped quickly.

Trout isn't opting out

He hasn't gotten a fair shake here, and he may never. He should have gotten a chance last year, but players like AJ Reed and Matt Skole got play time over him. The guy is blocked by multiple others now. Yermin will mash, but with another team probably.

Based on your post, it appears you do too much thinking. Sometimes you just need to go with your gut. My gut tells me Yermin should have made the roster.

No matter. Yermin will be up if there is an injury to Abreu/EE/Grandal/McCann/Collins. He will prove his worth as an offensive force.

Yermin not making it is a complete and utter joke.

Throw Yermin out there for a few games. His bat could easily offset his defense.

Abreu would never allow that to happen. He won't be a DH and he won't bat below 5th

Your OPS argument is a joke. EE has a lower OPS due to his early years. Take a look at recent years and it is no contest. EE >>> Abreu. If you are so confident, put your money where your mouth is and lets wager a ban bet on it.

This is absurd

Who will be the more productive hitter this year, Abreu or EE?

EE has looked phenomenal from what I have seen. I was scared he would hit a wall due to age, but he has looked awesome. He very well could be the best hitter on the team.

Oh, so Canada is too good to have any Americans go there right now? Screw em. Strip them of the "Toronto" in their name this year or don't let them play.

Beat it, Bosley. Bring your bad juju elsewhere

These are good points. You've convinced me that not only do the Sox need Ozzie, but the league does. Ozzie wouldn't kept his mouth shut while the Astros cheated against the Sox. He would have have said something and gotten the conversation started much sooner. The league needs a manager like Ozzie again.

Ozzie deserves a 2nd chance. He brought this team a world series for gods sake. We currently have a certified clown as our manager, yet we won't consider Ozzie? I'm with @greg775 on this one. The sport is too PC now a days. A brash man's man like Ozzie won't get another shot.

@greg775's most hated relief pitcher

37-23. I'm throwing down a bet for them to win the WS. 25:1 odds? You better believe I'm taking that. I'm betting the mobile home on this one.

I think the defense has potential to be solid. Yoan, TA, and Madrigal all have above average potential on defense. Abreu is obviously horrendous and lazy at 1B. Robert will be an absolute stud out there. Eloy and Mazara, meh. Bottom line is the Sox have guys who are already above average or have the ability to be above average at the difficult positions. They'll be fine on defense.

Anybody with half a brain can see that was an awful contract. Completely unnecessary. i will be surprised if we don't have a 1st baseman (Vaughn) and a DH (Yermin, Collins) that are better than him by next year.

At least we can have a short leash with him. Not sure Ricky will do that, but we'll see. I assume EE, Abreu or Grandal get injured at some point too honestly. There will be at bats to go around.

Collins oppo taco. There we go.

Gavin Sheets is a non prospect at this point.

Seby is behind Yermin at this point. I'm not even sure if Collins is above Yermin anymore.
