November 30, 20214 yr Just now, Chick Mercedes said: Let’s reverse engineer this. If the Sox signed Semien or Escobar, and an everyday legit RF, would Garcia still be signed here for 3 years? Gotta believe things are not real optimistic in the war room, based on this signing. Based on the injury history of our players, I would hope so.

November 30, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: The Sox committed 1 error in the playoffs, and it was by Tim Anderson. Leury is not exactly known for his defensive highlights…even if bad routes, throwing to the wrong bases and related mental mistakes usually don’t show up in the boxscores. I just hope Hahn has a press conference to announce it. Hold that thought…there are only 1-2 in the media covering the Sox that will challenge him directly on anything, so it would be pointless as usual.
November 30, 20214 yr Public Service Announcement If you do not respond to the wind, it will stop blowing.

I don’t think a FO will outlay millions up front based on forcasting a lot of injuries though. More to it than that Id reckon. To specifically address the contention however, one might think a Garcia signing after a Semien and RF signing would be a luxurious Yankees type spree Edited November 30, 20214 yr by Chick Mercedes

November 30, 20214 yr You all can defend Leury all you want but he is a horrible starter and a very bad signing if it is as as starter which it appears so for now. Now if it is to play 1 or 2 games a week as a backup, barring injuries, good signing then.
November 30, 20214 yr What's the AAV? I feel like if they gave him three years they should get a discount on AAV. Anything more than 18 million and I'm iffy. If they got him for 3/18 or something that's fine. But 3/22 or something feels like an overpay. I know we're "just" talking 2-4 million here and what's the difference but for the end of roster types that shit adds up and can prevent other moves.

This isn't defending Leury as much as it is knocking down make believe strawmen, considering you keep posting falsehoods.

November 30, 20214 yr My cousin knew a guy who said Mendick is the starter. Can you believe that? Outrageous. Also, watch out for hypodermic needles with AIDS in the gas pump handles downtown, my other cousin said the ISISes are doing it
November 30, 20214 yr 29 minutes ago, fathom said: Well maybe if the guys who were supposed to start didn’t get injured so often, then he wouldn’t get as much playing time To expect people to welcome a player signing who plays in the event that the frontliners are hurt, is not fair to expect. People would be happy about Garcia signing after the holes are plugged with real ballers. Which again, a Garcia signing probably wouldn’t even happen in that event. Which is the gnawing fear. That it possibly means the Sox aren’t optimistic that the real ballers are arriving. A Garcia signing just to cover for injured front line players is something a team does where money is no object. Usually nominal type utility guys are brought up for that stuff. It’s fairly easy to find nominal backups.

I get the worry that he will play too much, but you also need guys like this around for when guys like Eloy decide to run through walls, or someone else pulls something.

November 30, 20214 yr I would love this move if it came on the heels of a few "bigger" ones. In itself it's disappointing. Can anyone not see that?
