Of course the negative guy is the more knowledgeable and the hopeful positive comps aren't being realistic . I remember at one point I said I just hope Moncada is as good as Whit Merrifield . I'm still hopeful he can be even better but we are far from a conclusion. Merrifield has made a nice name for himself . Nothing spectacular but a solid all around good player for 3+ seasons. He didn't even get a sniff of the big leagues until he was 27.

April 24, 20196 yr Hey Tilson is off to a good start! Soxtalk "Madrigal sucks." "Nah, he comps to this HOF guy" "Don't give me that nonsense, baseball doesn't work like that anymore Madrigal sucks." Poor Tilson. Even overlooked in the Tilson thread. Edited April 24, 20196 yr by turnin' two

He's likely a nothing but it's better than watching Engel produce (.152/.200/.303 batting lines) regularly. Meh. I'll take Engel's D over Tilson. At least Engel is good at something.

Why not give the Jay at bats to Tilson? Just DFA Jay and wish him well spending his $4 million. That 4 million alone sets him up for life and his kids.

Just DFA Jay and wish him well spending his $4 million. That 4 million alone sets him up for life and his kids. Jon Jay was always a waste of $4 million but that doesn't make Tilson any better. Have you even seen Jon Jay yet? Hahn probably realizes he burned another $4 million. Right now, I'm happy with seeing Cordell get a shot. Tilson can't hit and his defense and speed were overrated to begin with. Besides, he would likely get injured in a few games.
