Honestly, who's to say that if Avi stayed here that he'd A) be hitting like he is now and B) even stayed healthy to do it to this point? We all know that he had the talent in him to do something like this, but he was just never able to consistently put it together here. If Avi was having another one of his patented Avi-like seasons no one would care that he's gone. Hell, even if he stayed here and performed like his usual self everyone here would be wanting to drive him to the airport 2 weeks ago. It's nice to see him doing well, sucks that he couldn't do it more often here, but it seemed to be time for both parties to go their separate ways IMO.

I'll take it!

What's my bonus?

Thanks, everyone loves a lil Nic Cage.

Without looking anything up I'll raise you Chris Young.

It's very nice to see him putting together some nice ABs and trying to get out of that horrid slump he was in.

I'm just glad you're a fan and not an actual decision maker for the team. How does it not matter if they are literal black holes in the lineup batting .040 or .120? How is it beneficial for their development if they're getting destroyed at the major league level? This team was NOTORIOUS for rushing prospects because of need, which failed MISERABLY (outside of Sale, who is a freak). Why fall back into old habits that were obviously foolish when it's 100% unnecessary at the moment?

Well this explains why he left the game early.

I disagree. They DFA'D (and later released) Danks who was making more than Yonder. Canned Latos, Rollins, Holland, Santana, etc. after dumpster performances. If anything, they seem to be more willing to cut bait on sunk costs now. If he keeps sucking and Collins is still performing at AAA, why not just cut bait and call him up to replace him?

Where'd that Abreu thread go BTW? ?

He debuted in AA when LuBob did last week, had a very nice line that night.

They have the Sox picking Abrams here & passing on Vaughn.

Wins are fun, we should do more of these IMO.

Thanks for the info!

Well the last good one was Q.

paging @ptatc for an explanation please and thank you

Hard pass.

100%, but I'm not mad about it.

When I read the title to this thread, this was all I could think about.

XBH machine now

Mock Season is here, although I don't necessarily see it working out like this, I suppose it's interesting to think about nonetheless.
