Do you even go to games, bro?

Care to share?

I believe 2020 was Shirley’s first year as scouting director, which is why the drafts have upticked considerably. Hostetler was awful.

This lack of self awareness is something else.

NBC sports had it described as follows a couple times. Was hoping they got this detail correct, but maybe a mistake.

I think we’re getting two PTNL as well, and Boston get one?

Frank not being at the 2005 reunion was odd as well.

Haha I know, there’s just so many random names you could get to from it.

This post is pure caulfield bait

It evens it out, sure. I just don’t think the Red Sox are so hard up for cash they need to give up that kind of upside. They still have all that Bregman money laying around unspent.

Nice signing. No real downside and raises the outfield floor a bit from its previous depths of hell.

Yeah I think that’s wishful thinking. I think Wilyer Abreu is more realistic and a better fit anyways.

Are we sure it’s Boston? I could see the Giants making sense.

I didn’t read that as a suggestion he should be. It’s just an impressive tidbit.

Meidroth had more HR’s and BB’s last year than Madrigal has had in his career.

Berman gave a more wholehearted congrats to the Red Sox when our Sox sealed the series. It was pathetic. ESPN can suck a boner.

Unless I’m missing something, your pipeline rankings are off. Shultz is 49, Bonemer is 61, Smith is 72.

I understand and agree with what you say here, but I do think some credit should be given for actually following through with bringing the Sox into the 21st century. It probably would have been pretty easy to stick with the status quo and ride out that sweet, sweet Reinsdorf job security.

Might be time to get off the internet for a while.

I understand the logic in a guy like Melendez, simply because he can play - but isn’t limited to - catcher, thus allowing Teel/Quero to DH without Venable worrying. I don’t have interest in Melendez specifically, but as a minor league deal its fine.

Yeah, I don’t see why he would set himself up like that unless they were intent on following through.

I’m just gonna post this and leave it alone because I don’t want to sound like the board police or some kind of dickhead, but in my opinion the constant bickering and frankly childish posting is damaging what this place could be. Every now and then you’ll see someone create a long, well thought out post and it’s quickly buried and forgotten by the same arguing in circles every thread. It isn’t a great way to encourage traffic from potentially new and informed posters. Again, in my opinion. Anyways, we’re all cheering for the same team. Except caulfield, and he’s banned.

Jesus Christ. Glad I missed this one!

Meidroth also plays smart baseball, whereas Madrigal plays ….baseball?

Kim was their starting SS, so I don’t imagine Sosa is of much interest.
