Andrew Benintendi is making 4.9 million this year. Let's get him and have him hit lead off.

I'm glad they got caught, Cheating turns me off to sports and athletes and executives in the front office. Certain types of people will always try to scam every thing. When caught they have to be disciplined accordingly. Only way to find out was to offer immunity. Its not perfect but it will deter others.

It's our counter move to the Josh Donaldson signing.

JD is old for a position player. YG is old for a catcher. Which deal is more likely to pay off?

Is JD a suspected PED user? His career didn't take off until he was 27. Usually if a player is great he's at least a good player in his early 20's. If he is juicing, he could be productive for a long time to come. If he isn't he could blow up at any time. 4x23 is a lot of dough for a team like the Twins.

Kopech adds to rotation in June. Bullpen will get a major face lift. Sousa,Johnson,Ruiz and Hamilton+++ in second half.

Never paid cash for that. It's a good sign regarding our depth. I owe you a beer.

Nova did his job here. Tigers got a bargain.

Some people say if you aren't cheating , you're not trying. I'll bet they all voted for Trump. I think i'll keep my self respect instead.

Reylo is the long man/spot starter If Kopech and Gonzalez work out. Not sold on Marshall, but Sox have 3-4 internal candidates If some one gets hurt or blows up. Really like the depth on this team.

The upper deck boxes at old Comiskey were a million times better than today's park. If you had a seat between 1st and 3rd upper deck, they seemed almost better than the boxes down stairs.

I've got a VHS tape of Shepherd's summer vacation movie "Olli Hopnoodle's haven of bliss". In one scene the father comes home from work, picks up the sports section of the paper and says "dammit, the Sox lost again. They've won about 2 games since May."

I honestly don't know if you were wrong. Loved Paulie, but Cameron was an all around kind of player.

Gotta luv the cigarette! 1970's ruled.

All things considered, Minnie Minoso is still the best Player not in the hall. Lost 4-5 seasons due to social conditions beyond his control. Santo got in because he flamed out due to juvenile diabetes. Also beyond his control. I think Reinsdorf got the wrong guy in the hall. Baines was a helluva player, but Minnie ran circles around him.

I would think Rick will be watched very carefully from opening day on. The Sox have done too much good work this winter just to let a dumb manager screw it up.

Ugh, Madrigal, Vaughn, Moncada and even Grandal would be better than Anderson. If your OBA is .22 above your BA You would have to hit like Rod Carew every year. Not bloody likely with TA.

Would Hunter Pence be a better fit than Puig? Pence will be 37 next year, but still hits lefties pretty well. At his age he's well aware that he's not an every day player any more. Don't know about his defense in RF though.

I've had the same feeling. It makes me queasy just thinking about it.

I hope they don't trade him. Collins has a great eye at the plate and big power. As a third catcher he will likely get a chance due to injury, and the 26th roster spot makes it much easier to keep him at The MLB level. Left handed power bats can have a real impact if given the opportunity.

Offer him 2x15+2x20+2x25. 6X20 total

Seems like the old Sox problem of stars and scrubs has been solved. Off season has added a lot of depth. During a 162 game season, this will be a big plus.

I'd rather have Madrigal than TA any day of the year. Twice as many errors than walks, and a .399 BIP average.

Hope he's back on the purple kool aid.

Would Keuchel cost more than 4/68? I don't love the guy, but he probably puts 2020 into play for the playoffs. I'm more optimistic long term on Sox starting pitching than most. With Dunning, Rodon, Stiever and 2-3 other minor leaguers coming up, 2021 could look different than today. Break down and give him the 4th year. Every chance you get to make the playoffs should be taken.
