I like your style. Orioles have to play the BJ's, Lourde's, Devil Rays and ChiSox in the next two weeks.
Sox have to play Devil Rays, Altuves, Atlanta Baseballers (bitter rivalry) and Spanks.

I know I've seen a few people wonder about Lincecum and if the Sox had any interest, so I'm posting this. I don't think Lincecum will ever be back.
Designated for assignment (or DFA) is a contractual term used in Major League Baseball. A player who is designated for assignment is immediately removed from the team's 40-man roster, after which the team must either: return the player to the 40-man roster within 10 days from the date of designation, or make one of the following contractual moves:
1. Place the player on waivers (which can only be done within the first seven days of the 10-day period)
2. Trade the player
3. Release the player
4. Outright the player from the 40-man roster into the Minor Leagues
If you don't go 162-0, there's a lot to complain about.
Right now, it seems like the rotation MAY be turning a corner, so the biggest issue today is Farrell. Will DUMBrowski decide to move on from him?
"Oho!" said the pot to the kettle;
"You are dirty and ugly and black!
Sure no one would think you were metal,
Except when you're given a crack."
"Not so! not so!" kettle said to the pot;
"'Tis your own dirty image you see;
For I am so clean – without blemish or blot –
That your blackness is mirrored in me."

My thought process:
Keep Pablo on DL all year. Rather than using Hanley as DH next year, he stays at 1b and Pablo moves to DH.
I don't think Pablo could bring anything worthwhile back. He's a net negative this year and trading him only makes the problem worse imo.
I'd imagine Ervin since there seems to be a need for another starter? Idk. I would be hesitant to dump Swihart unless you are getting something substantial back.
Does Sano still play 3b? Not sure the Twins would do that.
The Sox have enough money. They should just eat the entire contract and not throw away prospects.
