Let's Do This!!!

Mashed potatoes are good if you put gravy on top. Hell, you can even put chicken teriyaki and pineapple on dem bitches. 

I love lamp

Will Colas get this done or will Hahn have to thrown in some sweeteners for the Marlins to bite?

I was hoping Pollock would get it done, but no chance Miami wants him.

A reasonable prospect (less than Colas) would get it done, assuming Kim Ng is interested. Miami is also third in the WC race, so they are not likely sellers, at least this week.

Billy had a 0.4 bWAR on the Sox last year, Pollock is at 0.1 this season. Billy would definitely help with days off for Luis Robert in CF, late innings in LF, and pinch running late like he did with the Sox, and also did this weekend for Miami after his signing a few weeks ago.

This team would be a hell of a lot more enjoyable to watch with Billy on the team, and the team would get a lift in the clubhouse. 

With Eloy back, there really no need for Pollock at this stage. If you can eat much of his salary and flip him this month, that is the best case scenario.

The Sox still need a legitimate starting RF and 2B, but that will always be the case as long as Rick Hahn is GM.

Wait, you were serious? 

Soto & Hamilton > Pollock & Engel

Having a defensive OF to cover the OF mess of a defense is a good thing.  Adam Engel is just fine when healthy, but if not, Billy would be a fit.

Sox need a new dust filter for their Hoover Max Extract Pressure Pro Model 60.

Post of the week.

Imagine of the Sox didn't make a trade and made the playoffs.

 

Most like if the Sox got Ohtani and Trout they'd make the playoffs.  Somehow though Tony would mismanage Ohtani.  Trout also has an injury history and Tony will bubble wrap him and Leury will be his sub.

What???

A bag of balls would get it done.
Although why in the hell the Sox would want it done is beyond me.

I love Billy Hamilton. Bring him the hell back. They need his aura I'm the clubhouse.

At least he can play outfield.

Is Billy Hamilton sneaking a few LH power bats and a few lockdown pen arms back with him in his luggage?  Cuz otherwise I’m not so sure a 5th OF gets this team over the hump.  As much as I loved Billy here…

I know that this wasn't initially a serious idea but picking up Hamilton and sending Engel down to play every day in AAA for a while and having him as a better option than Haseley to bring up.

We really aren't sure how serious the thread starter is or if he just wanted to pay tribute to Hamilton and post more videos.

I'm pretty sure Wegner's post was in jest about trading Colas for him since Mr. Wegner is one of Soxtalk's jesters  (in a good relaxed way).

Now this one is interesting as a bottom of the 40 man option.  He hasn't hit much, at least yet, but he is a guy who can go get it in all three OF positions, as well as a base stealer, both of which the Sox need.

 

Add infield defensive specialist to Billy Hamilton's resume.

• Second base - Check
• Third base - Check

After further review, Billy Hamilton is still awesome.
