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.

    In related news, Nicky Delmonico will get his first professional start at 2B tonight

  • Anytime you can sign a reliever coming off major surgery to 9 mill a year you do it.

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.

Well Lance Johnson was One Dog so maybe Mad Dog !

I  really like this nickname.  Hopefully he droves the opposition Mad.

lol the amount that stop at t+1

But yeah including EE's 4 game and ignoring McCann is some extreme pnoles shit

Yup, fuck pnoles

If he becomes someone similar to Luis Castillo, I'd be content with that.

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”.

I will never understand people who turn something like this into looking for reasons to be upset all of the time. if it does, you need a new hobby.

Pnoles is a clown. Pretty sure the guy actually roots against the Sox.

I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but of course Madrigal is wearing 1. 

RIP, Rebuild

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?

They’re only cutting bait on two months of money

We improve by subtraction.

Didn't the Sox cut Jeff Keppinger with a good amount of time left on his contract?

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

Yup, fully agree.

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.

I had fully revised Luis Castillo in my brain to now refer to the pitcher so this was super confusing to me.

Anyone have the Sox dumping both Fulmer and Herrera within a week of the season starting?

His competitiveness showing is certainly one way of interpreting it. They also shouldn't be shaking fucking hands.

 

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.

Called up just after a week shocked
