I don't get that sense from Grandal at all. His body just seems cooked.

Cuban Connection just needs to be put to bed... that time passed with Abrey leaving. 

And it arguably saved Hahn's job for at least five additional years. 

ofc CLE and MIN tied 0-0 in fifth. 

Two teams that know how to pitch at least. 

 

If White Sox had Sonny Gray and Dunning instead of Lynn they would be much more competitive at least.

Error.  Has to be. 

I would've scored it a hit....but I'm a bit of a dick.

Would probably be the best thing for Robert to get away from him and Yasmani who are just clocking in everyday for paychecks. 

Eloy... remains to be seen. 

Yas clocking a pay check?

dude dedicated his off-season to reconditioning his body to be ready to play. Maybe you’re sad he isn’t old Yas, but f*** off witb your lazy narrative.

AV and Tork are good examples of why you never draft college 1st basemen high in the draft

Frank Thomas says hi. Frank thought he would be a Brave but Scherholz decided what you said and drafted Tyler Houston.

If we're going back that far it kind of proves the point. Obviously there will be exceptions to anything, though.

Baez hustling 

Romy's been playing some impressive defense lately

nice snag by romy

Romy in....Sox win

If they can figure out how to score, that is

Pitch framing is dying and he can't throw out anyone in a game that's running completely contrary to his skills. 

Grandal and Benintendi must have the worst fWAR per $$$ of any top two contracts in MLB history. 

Should have known never to give four years to a catcher in his 30s when the highly analytical Brewers were only willing to go year to year.

If I remember right, I think it was Nats’ GM Rizzo, a Sox scout at the time, that really championed for the Frank pick. 
 

And I do remember, factually, that it was lampooned at the time.

You draft the guy that's going to be the best player. For the last 50 years, the Sox firstbaseman has usually been their best player.

thank you roman

now, i'd consider letting him steal. maybe even forcing him to.

History will tell you that'll very rarely be a college r/r first basemen. The margin for error with that profile is basically non existent.

Anderson just seems to have no plan whatsoever right now.

You're smart enough to know this isn't remotely close to being true. Come on, man.

Yahooooo!!!!! Sox win

Look at Pujols' obscure start at Msole Woods Community College in KC. 

Royals didn't even notice him in. their own backyard... but the cross-state Cardinales did.

Not being as effective as they used to be doesn’t mean they’re mailing it in, dickhead.
