Timmy U

Why? Have you heard anything? He didn’t play there all year in AAA. He is exceptionally bad at 2b. I hope to Odin that they’re not that stupid.

Any word yet on what defensive position they’re going line Vargas up at?

Fire him FAST.

After yesterday, holding on to your reasonably priced ace who can be an example to other, younger pitchers is not a terrible outcome. Manage the innings and get him ready for Spring.

Based on the quotes outside the org. Vargas is not viewed that way. Clearly, the Sox value him like that. We’ll see who’s right.

Holy fudge! That is waaaaay more than Sox got for Fedde. Lotta strikeouts between those two, but they are legit second division regulars.

Did they just get more for Trevor Rogers than Getz got for Fedde?! Two R/R hitters who are defensive liabilities wherever you put them. Vargas controls the zone better, Norby has more impact and has been better in mlb. It’s close.

BA has the two prospects the Sox acquired out of their top 500. So... Lotto tickets.

Or a 3 team deal where the Sox end up with James Outman and 2 DSL pitchers, but give up Crochet, Brebbia, and throw in Mason Adams for some reason.

Good lord. I knew it had to be something like this. This means the Sox continue to listen to Tosar even though they have built a historically bad offense. This might mean they are not going to clean house in the hitting side this winter. That thought terrifies me.

Would love to know how much $$$ the Sox saved in total from this. It’s the only factor that makes any sense at all. Vargas is a R/R DH. To ever amass 4.6 WAR, he’ll have to be Frank Thomas/Dick Allen.

That list doesn’t have draftees on it yet. Smith and Bonemer will be higher for sure. So middle of the pack. Not awful, just not Quero from last year.

And Bruce Levine will report it as Michael Anthony Hall.

Accidental double post. Phone is glitchy today

I have heard other things, but we shall see.

He’s been stealing bases and going all out on D. You wanna see low effort? Wait until Vargas gets here.

With Crochet dangling and Getz dealing, I feel like a guy awaiting execution. Maybe I’ll eat a pint of ice cream and a bucket of chicken.

MLB had both guys listed as 50 ovr prospects in the Dodgers system. Now in the Sox system, they’re both listed as 45.

Any chance this is TLR doing the Cardinals a solid?

Why are they allowed to bring Peralta back up? There’s no way it’s been 10 days, right? Also, Touki back up? Shoot me now.

Really? He cannot throw strikes in AAA. Why in God’s name would you put him on the 40 man? I hate these people.

Maybe Vargas can teach Robert how to hit and Robert can teach Vargas how to work out?

Except not Michael Busch.

I’m going tonight because I am in town and I love my brother. Might also see the Sox break a record.

Sure. You can announce Vargas as an infielder. I’ll say something positive now. Vargas reminds me a little of Edgar Martinez before the power kicked in. Hey, maybe he’ll get stronger and become a real good DH.
