QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 30, 2018 -> 10:57 AM) Other than Jimenez, who do we feel “pretty confident”about at a corner oufield spot as a long-term solution? Delmonico? Cordell? Luis Robert, if Engel is actually for real this year in CF? Leury? I actually am not confident about Jimenez as a long-term OF. I think he'll stick in RF/LF for a few years, but eventually, the defense won't cut it and he'll be a 1B/DH (and a damn good one)

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 30, 2018 -> 12:25 PM) Remember when the Sox started the 2016 season at 19-8? The ended the season 78-84. Those weren't #RickysBoys

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 06:37 PM) That's our pitchers' first K of the game Didn't Avilan get one

Jeanmar Gomez deserved Minaya's spot. Or Farquhar's really

Ryan Burr joins our bullpen in June/July

Too late to change my answer to 99?

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 06:22 PM) Yoan could easily be 4-6 Just came to post that. The local media narrative for the next couple days will be that the offense was great and Yoan struggled, when in reality he looked just as good as anybody not named Davidson

Yoan could easily be 3-5 today. A couple hard hit balls for outs

Anderson really just scored on 1st from a single lol

Tim Anderson with some... patience?

Surprised we're hiding Delmonico from lefties when he hits them basically the same as he does righties

So have I missed anything? Typical game, no?

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 06:28 PM) Not bad for a $60 mil payroll, $20 of which goes to James Shields. I know what you meant, but 10 mil goes to Shields, 11 is paid by San Diego for 21 total

So... busy month in politics

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 04:15 PM) If you read reviews/follow game sites (Operation Sports), they did announce it would be out of the game. They said Online Franchise was gone, not Season mode. I'm on Operation Sports and it caught everyone by surprise. There's like a 40 page thread about it on there full of outrage

re: Moncada, I had no idea that he tied for 3rd in DRS among 2B last year in just 1/3rd of a season (it's a cumulative stat). I remember him looking good out there, but not that good. If he can keep that defensive play up and maintain his .804 OPS that he had last year*, then we really do have a star, even with a high strikeout rate. *after his first 2 weeks up here, which I am excluding due to it being his adjustment period, through the end of the season. I usually am not a fan of omitting data in player evaluations, but in the context of a prospect seeing extended time in the Majors for the first time, I tend to allow it

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 03:56 PM) Ideally this is me: Moncada 2B Avi RF Abreu 1B Delmonico DH Castillo C L Garcia LF Anderson SS Sanchez 3B R Cordell CF Glad we agree on getting Nicky off the field and benching Davidson. I like Leury too but want to see a couple months of Engel at the plate to see if he has actually improved at all

77-85 record

Abreu: over (31) Davidson: under (17) Moncada: over (24) Garcia: over (20) Anderson: over (18) Castillo: under (14)

The Show removed season mode, didn't tell anyone, didn't give a reason, and didn't apologize. And given that that was the only mode I used, I'm pretty upset. Franchise is too different to me, although I have been trying that. That said, the gameplay itself is actually much better than years past

A. Garcia

I'll go: Moncada Avi Abreu Delmonico Davidson Castillo Anderson Sanchez Engel Which is actually same as flavum. Ideally, though, I'd like to see: Moncada 2B Avi RF Abreu 1B Delmonico DH Castillo C Cordell LF Anderson SS Sanchez 3B Engel CF But sadly, Cordell is at Charlotte and Davidson seems to be preferred

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 12:25 PM) I agree with you. That is why we are working to see how we can customize / tailor it to look prettier. Thanks. It's humorous how the overall tech for a site like talkbears is better, but the site itself is just plain ugly. I trust that you'll be able to customize it if possible

Abreu and Moncada
