Seiya Suzuki to be posted Monday morning.

Maybe he was joking here, too. With almost everything posted being Comic or absurd, it's hard to tell.

1. Many teams are in tank mode. 2. The 26th slot is a luxury that was not there before. 3. Jimenez can play as a defensive replacement and could even get some ABs, although I agree, this isn't the ideal way to develop a player in great need of a full development year. I'm not saying it will happen, but circumstances have changed in the last two years. I do think Feltman will be selected, because he can pitch in the bigs, next season. Santos is kind of like Jimenez. Cottam may be picked just because good catchers are scarce, but some GM will have to really like him.

I know a lot of posters want us to replace ERod in kind or with someone even better. I'd like that, too. I think Montas fits that bill, and maybe Jon Gray is close to even. However, we also have to replace Perez, Richards and Ottavino. To me, guys like Matz, Duffy & Graveman would be an improvement on those three, but it's no certainty. We should also see 100+ more IP from Sale and a few more from Houck, Brasier and others, but of course less from some who might get hurt or struggle, unexpectedly.
-
That's what I thought. I think we'll do with something like 2 from Matz, Jon Gray or Duffy, unless we trade for someone, then sign a RP'er or two. 3-4 decent pitchers. Where they plan on using Houck and Whitlock may determine who they sign. Who they sign may determine where Houck and Whitlock end up being slotted. They may be flexible going into this winter is my point.

It's comic relief.

I’d hate to lose Jimenez. I’m big on defense up the middle but he may end up being no more promising than Rosario- someone I’m okay with DFAing. I also like Santos. I’m not concerned about Feltman, but someone might take him.
-
We might lose two and draft one. Maybe that’s a reason we kept some slots open.
-
I get that, but some teams do t even have all that promising players at 39 & 40 either, including the Sox. That’s actually one reason I was surprised we only protected 4 when we have guys likePotts and Plawecki taking up slots. I think several tams are going to swoop on multiple Rule 5 selections , this year.
-
Honestly? You’ve said more absurd things and meant it, like in this very post claiming Bloom cost us the WS. There’s no way anyone could ever know that was a joke. Honestly.
-
The 26 man roster really changes things, too. It’s much easier for teams, especially the few teams in tank mode to stash one or even two highly talented but far away prospects on their 26 man roster. I will not be surprised if Jimenez and Santos are drafted.
-
1/3 chance of winning!
-
I’d say the second $25M had something to do with the choice.
-
I’m not surprised Santos and Feltman weren’t protected, and Jimenez is so far away. I never really thought Cottam would be selected, but I’m surprised only 4 were selected. It means they like guys like Potts,Rosario and Arauz more than them.
-
Yes, I would have colored Beni blue, but this list is only showing those who are borderline 40 man roster players..
-
Our 37 Man Roster: Red= DFA Candidates (Trade, if we can get something) Blue= Trade Candidates C (4) Vazquez, Plawecki, Wong, R Hernandez 1B (2) Dalbec, Casas 2B (2) Arroyo, Downs SS (2) Bogaerts, Arauz 3B (2) Devers, Potts LF (2) Verdugo, Duran CF (2) Kike, Locastro RF (2) Renfroe, Rosario DH (1) Martinez SP (9) Eovaldi, Sale, Pivetta, Seabold, Crawford, Winckowski, Groome, Bello, Mata RP (10) Houck, Whitlock, Barnes, Taylor, Brasier, DHern, Sawamura, Davis, Bazardo, Valdez
-
Be serious.
-
More likely we DFA one or more from Potts, Rosario and Arauz. We may non-tender Plawecki. We still have 3 open slots on the roster and might claim a player or two off waivers before looking at free agents and trades. We may draft someone in Rule 5.
-
He’s okay, but aren’t there plenty like him put on waivers every year?
-
Must mean we plan on adding 3 or more players.
-
Sox select 4: Downs Bello Winckowski Crawford
-
Sox select just 4: Downs Bello Winckowski Crawford
-
Indeed.

Why is the 5 year sample the magic number? (Not saying it's not important, but so is last 3-4 years.) Last year 3.6 Baez 3.1 Taylor Last 2 3.5 Baez 4.5 Taylor Last 3 13.2 Baez 6.2 Taylor Last 4 18.6 Baez 9.3 Taylor
