Can they even afford Jay right now? Also, isn't there a rule about guys signing MLB deals not being able to be traded until a certain date? Edited March 24, 20196 yr by soxfan2014

March 24, 20196 yr I saw Boston has 3 catchers but will only go w 2. Both Swihart (26) and Vazquez (28) have warts but so does McCann. Swihart can also play OF and IB

March 24, 20196 yr With all the hard-throwing righties they have coming up for the pen, still shaking my head at how they prioritized Herrera and Colome this off-season. Charlotte’s pen is going to be crazy, Birmingham figures to be stacked as well. My guess is that Engel did not make the team.
March 24, 20196 yr With Banuelos in the pen that means Santana is breaking with the club, they’re only going with 4 SP, or they’ll stack Covey/Banuelos as an opener for the 5th spot to start. Edited March 24, 20196 yr by ChiSox59

I’m assuming they trade at least two of Colome, Herrera, & Jones before the deadline and possibly all three.

March 24, 20196 yr Hahn said on broadcast that Rondon is on the team. I think team will wait to put Santana on the roster until April 10th, delaying the final position player cut until then.
March 25, 20196 yr On 3/22/2019 at 11:31 AM, ChiSox59 said: They could just let Palka hack away at LHP as well. Pretty much have to platoon Alonso though so he doesn't hit his vesting option. RHP: Jay CF, Moncada 3B, Eloy LF, Abreu DH, Alonso 1B, Castillo C, Palka LF, Anderson SS, Sanchez 2B LHP: Jay RF, Sanchez 2B, Eloy LF, Abreu 1B, Castillo C, Anderson SS, Moncada 2B, Palka/Rondon DH, Engel CF Jay in CF and Jay in against both RHP and LHP is an affront to Leury and the pitching staff. Leury deserves mucho tiempo in the OF .

Banuelos is the long man after that. Edited March 25, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman

That is a reasonable take on Nate. Herrera not so much. By the way - do you have any single post out of your 171 that aren't blatantly negative?
