Get ready for Benetti every single game “DeJong an Illinois State Redbird and Lopez a Naperville Central Redhawk” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they do the same dumpster diving when it comes to free agents. Edited November 7, 2023 by A-Train to 35th add 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Harold Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 8 hours ago, Squirmin' for Yermin said: How can you rationalize signing BOTH DeJong and Lopez and not giving Sosa or Rodriguez a shot at at least one of the spots. It would at least make them (Sosa & Popeye) earn the spot rather than just give it to them, which is different than the previous regime. If Sosa/Popeye are playing well and the placeholders (predictably) stink, then you shuffle them out and let the kids cook. While 100% unsexy additions, I don't mind them insulating the prospects a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 From what I have seen of Montgomery, the danger of signing DeJong is Colson beats him out in the spring. Because of his plate discipline, Montgomery's floor's pretty high. Not hard to see him hitting .220 and still being way better than DeJong. As far as Popeye and Sosa are concerned, their complete inability to control the strike zone may be a no no to the new regime. The last thing the Sox need is more guys who won't take a walk.

Waste millions of dollars of retreads, injury-prone stiffs and has-been's but when it comes to nabbing a game changer, a superstar (Hello: Bryce Harper...) no...can't do that! 🤡 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
