Andriese collects Social Security in 34 years. He's been in MLB since 2015. Munoz is 26 1/2 He was in MLB in 2018.

1) He's out hurt. 2) He's not on the 40 (not a big deal to DFA someone to make room) 3) He's not the best option (neither is Casas).

Rays, Jays and Yanks all lose. Gallo & Rizzo go 1-5 combined. Heaney lets up 4 ER in 4 IP. The glitz is wearing off. Hand let up 3 ER, last night in a 2-2 game. Why didn't we get guys like them? (sarcasm alert)

He was DFA'd long ago and passed through waivers and stayed with the Sox off the 40 man roster. Andriese has a ML contract. Why are you asking about him on the prospect thread?

Look at player A on the random chart. They are identical.

What's the purpose? We still pay him the same. Plus, he's not a prospect.

There have been studies to show the random chart looks just like the real one. Hitting well is a skill. It is repeatable- the charts show it. Timely hitting is not. The charts show it.

Short, medium, large all almost exactly alike. One says "player A" The other says "Montgomery"

Make a career chart of actual MLB players in the clutch and then make a randomly created one. They will look identical.

Could be the best night for the Sox in quite a while!

They back to sucking, again?

Rich teams found ways to manipulate the system and stockpile comp picks.

The point is, it can't be proven. A random sample would create a very similar range of outcomes.

Rules prohibit.

Like when? When he takes a dump? It's not HRs... HRs, this year: Casas 6 Dalbec 11 Cordero 7

Not a word spoken about what was given up. Kind of a one-sided view.

My first loss in an opening game thread! Bummer.

If you looked at randomly distributed clutch hits, a few guys would look really good, more often, and you'd say "Some are better than others. That's the point. No rocket science."

What Lou says is always the truth. You win. A glitzy Rizzo was what we should have gone after.

Every year, decent 1Bmen sign one year deals. That's what we may do, this winter, assuming Schwarber is not around or sucked at 1B, this season.

Fun, fun, fun!
