Guys like Lambert, Peralta, Garcia, Banks, Scholtens aren’t really guaranteed 40-man spots in my book. Same with Sheets. It’ll be sorted out.

Yeah I commented (up above) after responding to both that you just commented on and corrected already

Yeah that comment had me checking if he has options left. He does.

Yep and other guys will play themselves off or other injuries will happen.

Actually, he’s not. He has 1 left.

Didn’t realize he was out of options.

He’ll be dealt to the Braves in May

Danny Mendick has to be lead candidate for backup IF, right?

I'm just salty this didn't happen when I was younger and going to more games. God damnit ha Will be ecstatic if happens though.

The only guys I can think of that the Sox could dfa to make room for MiLB signings are some of the older guys who may not have long-term value like Banks (he's 32) and Scholtens but they have options. I'm also not really sure if they would get picked up or not. Lambert and Peralta (just meh guys really) too I guess. Also depends on if Shane Drohan makes the team out of Spring Training I guess.

When people were comparing Fletcher to Eaton, I figured he was small and probably the same size as Eaton. Eaton is 3 inches taller, Madrigal 2 inches taller lol Altuve is listed at the same height (5'6") and he's hit for some power in his career.

Any stadium design is better than the generic, cookie-cutter style, current stadium haha

I get the concerns, but personally I’m not worried.

Yeah, that price isn't bad.

Is this a hint as to who you are talking about?

Yeah I bet he starts off in a platoon (if he makes the team) with Lopez. He could have a chance at more playing time.

That's enough to win my bet so I'll take it.

Don't really care for my free time but it is a nice change of pace to toss a game on in the background while working from home.

Assuming they don't sign a veteran backup IF, is Lenyn currently the backup?

Yeah, if not for those trades, I think he would have been worth picking up. Heck, maybe he still would have been over Sheets (and his one option).

Just to note, just because a guy was claimed at some point doesn't mean the team won't try to pass him later. There's always guys constantly waived and claimed throughout an offseason. Outside of Speas, off the top of my head, I'm not sure we even claimed anyone other than him. But yeah, he could be safe. Agree that Martin and Foster likely get added to the 60-day IL.

It was a soft 2020 schedule. Who was the only good offensive team we faced? Minnesota? Kind of expected the implosion after.

How recent are we talking here? Rebuild era and beyond?

I still think they should bring him back if he’ll go for like $5M.

I'm hoping the better defense helps get to that mark from last year. Can't catch the walks and balls over the fence though.
