Yah, meant to delete Bush.

Is he really going to fall that far?

None of those guys have played at all this year. Sox just waiting for the rookie league to start to assign them, I would assume?

This is completely false. He hasn't even been added to the 40 man yet (will need to be added this December). He has all sorts of time to come back from this.

Let's strive mightily to sweep the series.

This place is going to burn to the ground if the Sox take him.

IF you're gonna start him in Chicago in 2020, may as well just get him up here in August this year, no?

I am sure this has been opined to here several times, but if the Orioles or Royals make a surprise pick and Rutschmann or Witt fall to the Sox, the expectation is the Sox would take whichever of those guys fell, correct?

I had that part figured out. Who are Miami and Detroit targeting?

For someone that follows the draft more than I, why would Abrams fall to 6th if the Sox don't take him? Why would Miami or Detroit pass on him?

I like McCann a lot and would definitely like to keep him around. But extending him seems unnecessary. Sox control him next year thru arb and he'll probably get like $4.5-5M. Unless he wants to sign like a 3-4 year deal at $3M AAV, I don't see the point.

Any comment that has an semblance of positive vibes gets the laugh emoji now. Its a joke. Can we scrub this board and get rid of the trolls?

Gerrit Cole would really make the pitching so much less of an issue. Cole-Giolito-Kopech-Cease-Lopez is very formidable, with Rodon perhaps joining the mix later in 2019. I personally would sign a 1 year vet to for the 5th spot and start Kopech in AAA next year to knock off the rust. Anyone know how much time he'd have to spend in AAA in order to get back that year they blew for a few starts in 2018? I would guess he'd need to be there until like mid-June...

Tilson has been pretty awful in CF when he's had the chance this season. He really hasn't been great anywhere in the OF frankly. And yes, the Sox did DFA Tilson and he went unclaimed, so they were able to remove him from the 40 man but keep him in the org.

If the Sox don't sign any real FA SP, there will be. If they sign one real SP, and another back-end type, it'll be a little tighter. FA-Giolito-Cease-Kopech-Lopez-FA-Dunning-Covey-Rodon (midseason)-Lambert-Flores Going to be tough for some of those guys to get starts at the big league level IF the Sox add a piece or two to the rotation. I personally expect them to, but I guess until it happens, ya never know.

Someday you'll learn how the game actually works. Actually, you probably won't.

Z-A-V-A-L-A

Its definitely too early to give up on him. This is has last option year though, so he best figure it out soon. Would frankly prefer him in Chicago to Minaya.

I can't wait for your post saying "release this stiff!".

For 2nd game. Surprise, surprise.

Yah, that is always a possibility. But a few people here had him on the surgery table last time he went on the IL and he was back shortly after the minimum stay, so it seems a bit premature to be projecting surgery.

Wasn't it his shoulder earlier this season?

Seems like a pretty decent comp.

Any word on when Jake Burger is going to get assigned? Has to be soon I would think.

How exactly is a taking a consensus top 3 prospect like Witt "thinking outside the box"?
