People change all the time. To completely dismiss someone that “served their time,” is a mistake. It would also be a mistake to completely rely on him as well. Would love to see the Sox give a chance.

This is a perfect signing for this team.

Maybe I am sick but this is fun. Relax and enjoy the ride. Pretend it's the first time your went on a roller coaster at Six Flags with your eyes open. I love it. I hope it happens, if not it kept me entertained.

His numbers indicate to me that he was a PED guy during his time here. I am not a fan of guys that I think cheated. So if you want to add every PED guy to my list then go ahead, but it will not change my stance of whether they were my favorite or least favorite guys. Did you see that mustache, Hill Street Blues was begging for him to come be a regular.

Fred Manrique- No Reason that makes sense Jose Valentin- That mustache just was creepy Mike Caruso- Can you imagine looking at him with today's metrics Sammy Sosa David Wells

ESPN stopped being credible for news at least 10 years ago. Too many podcasts, online blogs, vlogs, etc. to even bother tuning to ESPN unless it is to actually watch a sporting event.

On the pitching front it has been stated, but needs to be reiterated. We are at the stage where we need to see if these young arms can take steps. You don't bring some jamoke in to add to the list of Burr, Hamilton, Burdi, Stephens, Fulmer, etc. when we need to give these guys the opportunity to shine. You put a proven guy like Colome at the back end of the BP. This allows the young guys opportunities to step up throughout the season without having to be the guy. As far as grabbing a 5th starter and having a "cheap tryout," I think the point that is missed is that Hahn is on to something else to solidify the rotation. Otherwise he would have gone that direction with the rule 5 draft. Maybe he thinks Cease is closer than we are giving him credit for or Meideros for that matter. This plan has been too solid from the get go for him to screw up something like SP now.

Not including Cordell or Palka in your thought process for making this decision is short sighted.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 10:15 AM) On a 1 year deal with the hopes that he bounces back well enough to flip at the deadline, that would be fine. This is a bad idea. Flipping him at the deadline for a low tier prospect is not worth getting more at bats from the contingent of prospects we have at the DH/OF spot. It makes me wonder if an agent is pushing Heyman to write articles in order to drum up compensation for said agent's client.
