July 31, 20205 yr 40 minutes ago, Quin said: Yeah, including EE and Grandal, but ignoring McCann is such wild statistical manipulation that it's insulting. It should include a minimum plate appearances factor. PNoles' reasoning is that McCann's contract was so small he was an oversight when he was going through contracts. Obviously that's dumb but I will say when I did the exercise it is extremely subjective in deciding whether to bother with a Minor league contract that is likely a major league one out of spring or just fodder. There are way more FA signings than you remember. But...mccann was a guy who was expected to be a 25 man guy right away. Pretty easy to figure that one out.

But he remembered to include Jon Jay. also a lot of those dips are not nearly as severe as they look after bunching every line to one spot. Edited July 31, 20205 yr by mqr

July 31, 20205 yr Just now, Yearnin' for Yermin said: Mad dog is that obnoxious radio host in NY. How about The Little Magician? To quote somebody’s response to that nickname when we drafted him: ”That nickname needs to be dragged out to the street and shot”.

Pretty sure the guy actually roots against the Sox.
July 31, 20205 yr Very surprised they cut ties with Herrera as soon as they did. I think we can thank Heuer for that. Excited to see what Nick can do tonight.

It’s really atypical Sox. The right move for sure but when was the last time they cut bait on a bunch of money?

July 31, 20205 yr So when Mazara comes back, I imagine the Sox send both Goins and Nicky down and bring up Dunning and Mazara?

July 31, 20205 yr No Magical Madrigal, Javier Baez already has that nickname, albeit en Espanol. The rebuild will be over when Vaughn is added to the line-up, and likely either a corner outfielder or veteran starting pitcher in free agency. Also need to replace Colome.

July 31, 20205 yr Anyone have the Sox dumping both Fulmer and Herrera within a week of the season starting?
July 31, 20205 yr His competitiveness showing is certainly one way of interpreting it. They also shouldn't be shaking fucking hands.
July 31, 20205 yr Pnoles tweet aside, DH has been a really poor performing position for the Sox since they traded Thome a long time ago. Hoping EE bucks that trend but he’s off to a very slow start to the season.
