  1. It's not my money so it's really easy for me to bang the drum on signing him for 3/4's of a BILLION dollars. For a guy that's not even as good as Mookie!
  2. Oh sure. Any guy that pitches towards the end of the game picks up a few chances during the year. They may even give him a shot at the beginning of the year. I just don't think he's going to have the best stuff out there.
  3. Jarren Duran was named All-MLB 2nd Team for 2024.
  4. Depends on the team. Corbin Burnes may be the better pitcher though.
  5. I really doubt that one unless his arm is just shot after TJS.
  6. I don't think Hendriks is going to be the closer. He hasn't had closer stuff since getting cancer.
  7. He will probably be paid 45M AAV. That's close to what his annual value is per FanGraphs now, but what about the last 7-8 years of the deal? Will he Albert Pujols? One injury and that contract is a freaking anchor. You could split that contract in half and get 2 really good starting pitchers for it that could give you more value.
  8. Whatever it takes.
  9. They have a shot, it's up to ownership to nut up.
  10. Crochet extension? Anthony used in the trade for Crochet? Mayer? I don't know how I feel about Bregman. He could look really good swing for the monster, but it's a lot of money that we already have stupidly tied up in the bad contracts of Story and Masataka. I'd be shocked if Martin re-signs for 2M.
  11. Benny Biceps with the GREATEST CATCH OF ALL TIME.
  12. I like Sogard as well. Hamilton provided a lot of value to the Sox. I think the Sox can do better than either of those guys.
  13. We also know that the 12 '06 guys listed all made the bigs. We have no clue what the long term outlook is for the '24 guys yet. Most likely there will be some flameouts. The 7th ranked prospect in midseason of '06 was Edgar Martinez. He was out of pro ball after '08. The September rankings included Kris Johnson 8th and Jason Place 9th. At least Johnson got a cup of coffee. Place never even made it to AAA.
  14. I think we're all very excited for him and think he's going to be A DUDE. We just don't know what his ceiling will be. Fun to have more MiLB guys to follow at each level. I wouldn't have him start at Salem either because the pitching isn't great and the field is death to hitters. Greenville is a good test for him, but it wouldn't be really throwing him in the deep end. The other 2024 college offensive draftees appeared in Greenville at the end of last season.
  15. Kids need their Soto jerseys for Christmas!
  16. First time shame on you. Second time shame on me. Third time we won't get handednessed again.
  17. It wasn't vampiro, it was Tom Werner, the man with stars in his eyes. I don't know if that portends good things for this deal. Werner may be all in on Soto, but Henry could easily say no.
  18. I didn't want to make a unilateral decision. Thank you.
  19. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness Laterality was a suggested synonym. That would confuse everyone here.
  20. If only we could go year to year with Soto the way with did with Ortiz. The amount of value (on field, PR, otherwise) the Sox got out of his contract was immense.
  21. Wikelman, Horn, Mata, Shugart, Valdez, Sogard, Gasper, Grissom are all on the DFA/trade block IMO.
  22. It's Wilson vs Bernardino vs Booser. They would still sign Scott if they could. He's a 6th/7th inning guy, not a late inning guy.
  23. Sasaki is cheap, but he gets to choose wherever he wants to go and it'll most likely be the Dodgers. Sox will make a pitch, but it will be a shot in the dark. If he doesn't pick the Sox, there's no way we can get mad at Bres.
