Timmy U

We are really playing the Yankees at the right time. This lineup only has a few major leaguers in it.

He has been very lucky with injuries to Cordell, Tilson, and Robert to get every opportunity. Now, with Robert surging, the clock is really ticking. If he starts hitting now, it probably won't matter. Robert is faster, better defensively, better arm, more power, already cost the team $52 million. Engel is playing for other teams at this point.

This is unwatchable. Slow working. Nibbling when he gets ahead. 1 man pace of play crisis.

At the game. Yankee fans feeling grumpy.

Before we drafted him? Nothing we can do about it now.

All you're doing is hurting yourself. That certain shortstop is going to be real good. I'd enjoy Eloy for the player he is and try to forget about that other guy unless you are a complete masochist. The two have nothing to do with each other.

Team USA uses wood bats.

I think we have to give Nova a little benefit of the doubt for this inning. He labored, but Seattle is hot right now. Every duck snort they hit fell in. Whoever plays them in three weeks is going to benefit from Babip regression.

Supposedly the math indicates you want your best hitter hitting second. Castillo in the clean up spot is an oddity.

It was a tapper that somehow bled through though.

Verrrrry early. Let’s give it a couple of weeks. I am not a big Madrigal believer, but even I am not going to jump on like 3 games.

HBP in second AB. Madrigal still 0 for season.

Sadly for them, who cares? Sox have $52 million invested in Robert. That’s more than they just gave Jimenez. Whatever is best for his development will be done.

Yeah, he’s got an oblique or something. Last I heard he was going to stay in extended a while, but it didn’t sound serious

Cooper taught Lopez a slider. He still may not be that good, but that is not nothing.

They will figure out the bullpen. With Ruiz already up and Hamilton, Burdi, Thompson, and Viera in AAA, they can mix and match until they find the right combo. As far as defense, I don’t think Yolmer is going to make 100 errors, but who knows?

For years, everyone here complained we were rushing all of our prospects. Well, this is what not rushing people looks like. You’re stuck with Daniel Palka in right field. Hopefully by the end of the year we will have better options. I can’t believe I am saying this but I miss Adam Engel.

Every hitter in the major leagues is a mistake hitter. No one makes a living off good pitches. That's why they're good pitches.

Law also identifies Bush as an outfielder. Is he still playing third or have we moved him?

Why isn't this on the Future Sox board again?

With all the hard-throwing righties they have coming up for the pen, still shaking my head at how they prioritized Herrera and Colome this off-season. Charlotte’s pen is going to be crazy, Birmingham figures to be stacked as well. My guess is that Engel did not make the team.

Where would Ian Happ play for the Sox long term? I gotta say, if you don’t like Moncada’s strikeouts, you wouldn’t like Happ either. That said, probably still has more value than Gio.

Like it. Would much rather have Moncada hitting second though. Also, Castillo is not as good as Ricky thinks he is.

That sounds about right. Too bad for Ruiz and Thompson. Both pitched well enough to make the team

Escobar is godawful. That said, he may be better than Goins? Sox really good at collecting garbage players.
