    Short term memory? Lucky for you the internet does not forget. A, What terrible moves have i asked the Sox to make. Advocating trading for a utility player when we already have a better uti

  • Signing Pollock is a great way for Engel to get 350 ABs as the starting CF too.

  • You know, what about Yoan at catcher?         ?

It's BACON!

How this guy continues to get work is baffling to me. I understand Detroit is rebuilding but they have to have someone in AAA that can be a late inning glove.

It's a minor league deal, and he was a beast in AAA last year. Guessing he's more of an insurance policy

Both teams playing in Japan for the Japan series in March get to carry 28 guys. This is a move for that (it was rumored a few weeks/month ago that this would happen).

From what I've read and heard on a couple podcasts, he intends on playing the full season.

We'll see if he does or not. Personally, I think his brief (if not only) MLB time will include the Japan trip as one of the 3 extra players.

 The Sox should sign him. We could have a Yolmer, Yolbert, Yonder, Yoan infield.

I would prefer having a Yolmer, Yoan, Yonder, and a Yainee and Manny infield personally.....

Only 1.5 mil. I would have loved this move if the Sox did it.

$1.5M?  Are you serious?

$1.5M base, incentives up to $5M. 

Wow - I know both of us really like Pomeranz for this team.  Just don't get why we wouldn't gamble on something this cheap.  Sox seem pretty content in rolling with one Banuelos/Covey/Stephens/Adams for the 5th spot.

If a guy is trying to re-establish himself, pitching in the NL in SF is far more desirable than pitching in the bandbox on the South Side vs. AL opponents.

That is more than likely a recipe for disaster.

No doubt, but I doubt he'd leave $4-5M guaranteed on the table.  

That incredibly low dollar amount also indicates that there weren't very many teams who thought he had much in the tank.

Just looked at their depth chart ?

They sign him, he'll get 600-700 PAs.  They're that bad.
