It’s almost like putting a slow first baseman in the outfield isn’t a good idea.

But, but, but the EYE TEST!

Hes SOLID in the OF!

Not to mention one guy is 20 and is just getting started and the other guy is 31 and is who he is.

Leury is a lot closer to Coby White than Patrick Williams. At least Coby has the ability to be pretty good when he's got it going. Leury is just meh when he's going well.

I'll say... imagine watching leury garcia the last 7ish years and thinking... man I gotta give this guy a 3 year extension.

It's like watching Patrick Williams shoot a jump shot and thinking... yeah, keep shooting like that. Form is great!

Might need to bring in Markelle Fultz's shooting coach...

4 and 5 in the rotation are scary until Lynn gets back, but the top of this rotation good enough to carry this team. The offensive and defensive effort is just disheartening.

The injuries are killing this team’s outlook this year. I will be surprised if we ever see the expected starting 9 play together.

He’s awful, but he’s not as awful as people expected so all was ignored

My hopes are not high for Williams, to say the least

He's about as underwhelming as possible. I liked the pick and trust arturas too but williams just isn't as advertised. Not smart. Underwhelming athleticism. No offensive game has developed. Jumper is horrible. Soft despite being big and strong. Buzz kill all around. Defense might be fine. 

The crazy thing is this whole division will just be separated by 1-1.5 games.

In another week or two, who knows?

But this rebuild has gone totally awry.

I heard Sam Hinkie from Philly is available, Luhnow too.  Trust the process!

Yup.

Thank God that they supplemented oft-injured Eloy and Robert with ancient and oft-injured Pollock, who are collectively backed up by oft-injured Adam Engel, and a couple of 1B/DH types. 

I mean, who could have foreseen anything going wrong with this scenario? If you were, you're just "complaining" and "whining."

I get it, but that top 3 is nasty. They take the ball most of the rest of the year and they'll be fine.

Stay away from overrated, overhyped ACC players seems to be the moral of the story.

Don't jinx Lance Lynn and his aging, doughy body.

Well I didn't say anything about Lance Lynn so....

He was actually good at Duke.  Williams was very ordinary at FSU.

Is Mike Matheny managing any where? This team needs a set of eyes from outside the organization to rebound from this shit.

Clint hurdle would be ok too.

Is AJ Hinch?

Oh wait

Ok, good.

So, we're all set here, right?

Were not "blocking Colas" by anyone, they shouldn't have signed Rodon, and Vaughn is "solid" in the OF.

So who is the George Lucas & spouse related company that has shown interest in buying the Sox?  Maybe they'll bring in Tim Allen to manage the team and we can all get to play the aliens in Galaxy Quest.
And then there is Crash Davis -he's been in the wings for awhile.

I would take Susan Sarandon/Annie and Nuke Laloosh at this point.

Ah, Drone Delay

Morneau said it was supposed to rain at around 6.

Perfect.  Just let Benetti and Stone do a comedy show or sing Nationwide jingles for rain delay theatre.

I dont care who owns the team, so much as I've been done with pretty much the entire  FO for the better part of a decade.

Hey! The Twins RF just made a nice major league play. He's not hobbling around now - what's up with that? Is this a new trend?

That was a sheets like route in LF
