Agreed with Keith Law here.

That's brutal. But that's the risk you take when you go to spring training games.

I'd bet on him being better than Nova this year. Nova gets cut for Cease when the time comes.

Davidson I'm ok with being gone and as badly as I was sick of Avi, I'd take him over Alonso.

Uber/Lyft driver? You are the boss of your own car, you set your own hours. Not sure will you live, but I don't think someone can actually do this as a full-time job without living near a big city.

Agreed. There's a decent amount of guys I don't want to watch play for the Sox already this season.

Sounds about right.

I'm never letting my hopes get high again for a big signing. And for anyone who does, I will refer them to the Machado thread. Honestly, no one should until there is a new owner.

They didn't pay less than Harper is likely to get for the better player (Machado). It's safe to say they won't be signing Harper.

If not for the lucky season of 05, it would be at least 10 times worse than it feels.

They can and they are.

I'm definitely not mad at them. All of my anger is towards the front office.

Right. They weren't brought in to recruit. They were brought in as a "look, we're going to likely suck this year. But you can spend the year with Alonso and Jay, your friends" type of move.

Right. It was pretty much asking his friends, who have lived in San Diego, how it was living there. And they responded as a friend would.

DJ Peterson I think? A one time Mariners top prospect?

Never have I ever been more unenthused for a season as this one. It doesn't even feel like Spring Training is going on.

What if it is discovered they colluded? Wishful thinking here, but would Reinsdorf be forced to sell?

Feel like today is the day Harper signs. I mean, not with us of course. But with someone.

Great post.

Probably platoon with White with Gurriel moving into a Gonzalez role.

We have every right. And I'm glad the fanbase is grilling them.

They don't. There's nothing to understand. They were brought here for one reason. And it backfired.

Yep.

I never fully convinced myself they were going to sign him. I was like 95% sure with that 5% being another team jumping in later and grabbing him since its happened in free agency in the past. The 5% of me was right.

Like a .0000001%, sure.
