Cannon has given them no chance in almost every start since the break. I understand why they didn’t pull him, but it was obvious he had nothing. Might as well bring a position player in to pitch the third. At least I can go to bed early.

He was referring to the Dodgers getting James Tibbs for Dustin May being a better get than Mead for Houser.

Rojas was trying to GIDP, but he was thwarted. Why won't Venable stop playing him?

Yeah, he could be out all month. Too bad because he was looking good at the plate.

Sox have played short-handed a lot, so I agree. But he won’t be playing tomorrow. It’s an off day.

I would not bring up either Schultz or Smith. I don’t think either is Rule 5 eligible and the Sox will need those spots for McDougal, Pallette, and all the 60 day IL guys.

You wouldn’t find much about him there either. Former Rangers second rounder who had some love on the back of a few top 100s. Sox picked him up on waivers at the end of Spring. Mostly started at Charlotte. He’s been okay. Is nothing special. I’d DFA after the season when the Sox have all those 60 day IL guys to bring back, but Six seem to like him.

He played in Charlotte last night. I wonder how much sleep he’s getting today.

I think Carlson will lock up the shortstop job… in 2029. Until then, Colson will be supremely valuable as a ss with 25+ HR power. You could do worse. Also, Bonemer will get here before Carlson, but I think you could stick him anywhere but catcher and it would work.

Mead at 2b Sosa at 1b? Or vice versa? Keep Baldwin at 3b and bench Rojas. Please.

I honestly don’t understand why they have kept Scholtens on the 40 both over the winter and now. He’s just a guy, no?

Left oblique strain for Vargas. That is an IL stint for sure. Ramos or Mead?

I love Antonacci. The hit tool is for real for real. He’s not a tiny guy so there is more power potential in there. His range is good not great, that’s why he hasn’t played much short. Arm is better than Meidroth, but not elite. He’s similar to Meidroth except he hits lefty and I think has a little more projection, but he can’t play short.

The Sox have so many second basemen that moving Sosa to left, even if feasible, barely makes a dent. Mead is out there for Charlotte tonight. He will be out of options next year. He displaced Jacob Gonzalez, who is more suited to second than short. The breakout player at AA is Antonacci, who is playing second. That’sin addition to Meidroth and Sosa. I hope they pick the right guys to keep.

Are we sure Meidroth > Sosa? Neither are complete players, but it’s skill vs. impact and this team needs impact.

Tait is a very good hitting prospect. They got a few arms that have some upside, but a lot of what they got were guys who are roster fillers in a salary dump. Tait’s gonna move the needle, the rest? I am skeptical.

Was hoping Taylor would get another inning. Let’s see what Wilson has. If he throws strikes, he can be good.

TJS. Will be back sometime in 2026.

This is why you couldn’t trade Altavilla. His entire career he has completely lost the ability to throw strikes at times.

2b gonna be interesting. Sosa is hitting well enough to be hard to dislodge. Ultimately, I think Antonacci > Meidroth, but Meidroth can play ss and is probably a better defender at 2b, although Antonacci has the stronger arm.Then you’ve got Mogollon and I can imagine Bonemer as a big 2b. Lotta options.

I stand corrected. Ramos is playing LF tonight.

HR Ramos. He’s been heating up. Sox may actually have some depth at 2b/3b. Would be nice if any of them could play outfield.

Mead is playing 2b with 2bb tonight. I wonder what position he’s gonna play with the Sox cuz this team has a whole lotta 2b.

Crazy that Braden has been better from the right side after everyone was saying he should give up switch hitting and bat exclusively from the left.

Personally, I think there are 3 really great players at the top: Cholowsky, Emerson, and Lombard. Emerson is my current flavor, but any one of them would probably be the Sox top prospect immediately. So, I think anything in the Top 3 would be great. Because of the lottery penalties, I would prefer 7 to 4-6, but that could change. I'm not necessarily jazzed about LeBron or Burress.
