I’ve always really, really liked ROTJ. For me, it’s Empire-ROTJ-ANH. I think the planet building is better is ROTJ. Fun stuff at Jabba’s, Dagobah, Endor, the Death Star. Never been a huge fan of Bespin in Empire, so I think ROTJ has the best locations.

I would think there are about 4-5 franchises that wouldn't swap rosters with the Sox right now. I agree there are things to be frustrated about, but if you can't "be into it" with the Sox current roster........My advice is find a new hobby.

He's basing his belief off of what usually happens in MLB The Show.

I don’t think that takes the Angles out...I also think the Giants could be players for Bauer.

1 for 8 is less than many thought......they better not be done.

Lol, unless the “prospect” Andrew Vaughn, I do that deal alllll day. Which means it’s not happening.

If Lynn has a decent April/May, I’ll be somewhat surprised if he isn’t signed to an extension mid season.

IF...the Sox feel like 2020 Burnes is the real Burnes...I’d be totally fine with Kopech and Kelly. I’m down on Kopech more than most just because I feel like there is a ton of risk involved with him at this point...but if Burnes is 2020 Burnes the Sox are an incredibly dangerous, and he’s part of the core for 3-4 years.

I'd be good with those as well.

I seriously don’t understand it. Who are these people? In what world is it OK to do that, or better yet...in what world has that EVER worked for a guy? “I know what I’ll do...I’ll just keep sending her texts, I know she isn’t responding, but I mean, she has to respond after text 45, right? 50? No? Alright, I’ll keep going..” This guy has a great job, would think he’s somewhat smart to be able to move up the ranks like he has.....how can you be this big of an idiot? It’s just shocking how you would throw your career away on being so horny you can’t stop texting someone that clearly isn’t interested.

Yeah, that stuff can’t happen and if he’s hurting the club, get him out.

I’m not impressed by their lineup as it currently stands. Great 3-4, after that? Lot of meh.

The way the team looks like right isn't changing anytime soon. If anything, it gets worse before it gets better. If he is hurting development get him out of here, but if he's just a "guy" I'm fine with him being the punching bag for 2-3 years until the arrow starts pointing up again.....which is going to be a while.

Go sign Q and La Stella, you're now one of the best teams in the AL, call it a successful offseason.

The meltdown from Sox fans that is about to happen over Joe Musgrove is going to be epic ?

I think Bowman should have been shown the door a while ago, but I'm actually OK with JC being the Head Coach right now. There isn't a coach in the world that can make this roster a winner, so bringing someone new in seems like a waste. But Bowman shouldn't be rebuilding this thing.

That's not unreasonable, but as Jimmy mentioned with his assumed innings limit, I'd like them to come up with a plan for IP's down in AAA, and if all goes right, they have an idea of when he can arrive back with the ML club. Honestly, there isn't a "right" answer in this situation as it's fairly unique and a bunch of variables at play. Kopech pitching well and looking strong will take care of a lot of the concerns.

Let's take service time out of the equation for a moment. Given the last pitch Kopech threw in competitive play was September 5, 2018 and has a total of 14.1 IP, along with the Sox trying to compete for a World Series this season....I still think he starts in AAA taking out any service time "manipulation" It's just the right move given where he is in his comeback attempt.

We need to teach these young pups the history of Soxtalk...

That's an absolute meat grinder and the best lineup in the American League

There just isn't a lot of downside with the move. The only issue I could possibly see if Cruz is Edwin levels of bad.......TLR continues to play the veteran over someone like Vaughn who is "ready" but even that is sort of stretch. Cruz isn't getting more than a one year deal so there is very little risk involved. I personally don't think they sign Nelson Cruz, and I'd much rather them sign another SP, but I'd be all for it if it happened.

Hope so. I still would also love someone like La Stella but that move is more of a luxury and me not being sold on Vaughn in 2021. Roster isn’t going to be perfect, but adding a solid #4-#5 would go a long way, in my perspective.

Yeah, just disagree here. You need one more somewhat stable arm, especially after these guys just had a 60 game season and are now being asked to go back to a 162 grind. They need to have some reinforcements ready to go....because they'll need them at some point. And the beauty is they don't have to trade any assets to do it. Just need to spend a little more money. We'll see what they do, really hope they aren't done.
