Let’s just put Adolfo out there...well, we KNOW it will end up being Leury and Engel, but would actually like to have something to be excited about, albeit temporarily.

Temporarily? And Adolfo may be more injury prone than Eloy. Is he even playing this spring?

 

just pain

Well, if he gets hurt again, it proves once and for all we can never rely upon him.

God forbid a starting pitcher also goes down the first two months...the season will be in real jeopardy unless they’re willing to push Kopech into the rotation out of desperation.

They could be decent and let us see Yoke play a few games out there.

For now they will ride things out look on the scrap heap until Engel returns , then he will get the starting job until trade deadline time.  The Sox will add a rental if they are contending. This is how I see it and how the Sox act. 

Ok if they think anything of any of these triple league players now would be there time , but they are all horrible , none will make it this is why people are bringing up cespedes and Vaughn and trades. These other guys are nothing only triple a players who fill out a roster and will eventually get released when a back fill of draft picks come in. 

Better start drinking now Tony, this is gunna be one hell of a year!

How many times does Tony pass out drunk in in the 6th-8th inning?

He definitely needs to get his senior nap in on the day games. 

Wouldn't hate Reddick

Yeah...but like....with Abreu and Vaughn...he can’t DH. So he’s the LF until Abreu is no longer here. Which is why extending Jose never made much sense as anyone with a mind saw this problem coming, but obviously year 1 of that deal sure went well fo him.

Truthfully not sure what else they can unless they want to trade Vaughn which also makes no sense. 
 

edit: missing a word

What say you now?

The Sox drafted one 5 tool player in the last 20 years and traded him for an expensive, broken down  pitcher.

Their MO is DH's.

At least 4 players on this roster could be permanent DH with Eloy leading the way.

This dufus organization won't be satisfied until they ruin his career for good.

Now he's out for practically the entire season as the result of trying to make him into something that he clearly is not.

Well done Kenny-Hahn-Tony.

Put Mercedes in LF, tell him he doesn't have to get anything that isn't hit right at him, and have Robert and Engel cover it all.

Are you referring to He Who Shall Not Be Named?

Signed but never actually saw play in an official MiLB game...

We might as well plant a statue that pops out from underground between innings holding two massive fishing nets. 

I’d like to see them trade for Gallo. It will cost something of value, but that can be recouped next off-season by dealing from a surplus once Eloy is presumably healthy. We’ve waited long enough, let’s go for it.

100% agree. I would give them Kopech if that is what it takes. Gallo plays good D, Left handed, and is pretty much a lock for 3 to 4 WAR. 

I'm tired of waiting as well. No more kicking the can down the road and half ass measures. Time to dominate the AL central is right now!!!!!!

Aka the Great White Buffalo

I would see what Jake Cronenworth would cost you. He crushed RHP last year and can play all over the diamond so he wouldn't lose any value when Eloy comes back.

Jose Abreu won the 2020 AL MVP. Signing the MVP always makes sense.

He's out.  One dimensional players only.  

What's crazy is that with all the ridicule I took for being pessimistic about this year, the one obvious potential danger I didn't list on my bullet points of things to be worried about... is the one that happened. Before the season even starts. Kinda numb, don't know whether to yell or laugh at the absurdity.

Someone talk me off the ledge. Are we still going to be good?
