    And from the same school that gave us Brian Johnson!!

    If he is not going to make the team, it might be better to see him struggle so he gets an idea what to work on. And really, what would be more frustrating than absolutely killing it in spring training and still going back to the minors?

    Our 2B options are all as good or better than a player cut by a tanking team while on a minor league deal...

    Because he missed almost all of Spring Training and probably won’t be ready any faster than ERod?

    Why not Chavis at 2B and move Kike to CF with Verdugo in RF and the platoon in LF? Chavis has done as much if not more than Duran to earn a spot and is already on the 40 man roster...

    It's not a surprise and he won;t be the only pitcher who has endurance issues after a partial season in which many players opted out. It's a big part in why the Red Sox are carrying 14 pitchers right now...

    Former Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke was the brother of former Orioles slugger Gary Roenicke and the uncle to former Reds’ pitcher Josh Roenicke. I think he also had a son-in-law who plays or played...

    Felipe also had a nephew who played. I think his name was Mel Rojas (?). Felipe was his and son Moises’ manager on the Expos at one point...

    I am surly I mention of the obvious ones - Barry and Bobby Bonds. Or Cecil and Prince Fielder Father-son trivia: Many people remember when Ken Griffey Jr. and Ken Griffey Sr. made history when they became the first father-son pair to be teammates when both played for the Mariners in 1990. What father-son pair has accomplished this since?

    Danny Tartabull. He also appeared in an episode of “Seinfeld” David Segui. No appearances in “Seinfeld”

    Dick “Ducky” Schofield’s son was former Angels shortstop Dick Schofield Jr. Also his nephew was Jayson Werth...

    The weirdest one to me was former Astros 1b Glenn and former Orioles RHSP Storm Davis. They’re not related, but a teenage Glenn Davis ran away from home and moved in with Storm Davis’ family. Storm’s parents formally adopted him..

    Spike Owen’s brother was Dave Owen. Tony Armas’ brother was Marcos Armas (that one I looked up). More importance to us was his son Tony Armas Jr, former Red Sox farmhand famously traded to the Expos for a certain RHP who I think was pretty good...

    Otis Nixon’s brother was Donnell Adam and Andy LaRoche were the son of Angel/Yankee LHRP Dave LaRoche...

    Joe and Dom DiMaggio had another brother named Vince who was also an MLB center fielder, mostly for the Pirates. Not as well known as his siblings, Vince was the oldest of the three. The description of his playing as opposed to his brothers wasoften summed “Joe is the best hitter. Dom is the best fielder. Vince is the best singer.”

    I liked the Sale deal, but I had my worries...

    I don’t think Encarnacion would be able to fill the same role as Marwin, and I am far from a Marwin supporter...

    And Corbin had his share of health issues at one point as well...

    Disagree. Sale is the wrong comp as, injured or not, he is underpaid. Through age 27, ERod has a 113ERA+ and a 2.86 K/BB and 10.8 fWAR in 699 IP. Through age 27, Patrick Corbin had a 104ERA+ and a 2.92 K/BB and 9.7fWAR in 745 IP. Corbin was paid $140million over 6 years upon reaching free agency at an older age than ERod should. Someone will pay him that much...

    As I’ve said before, the talent was never the question...

    They probably should switch just for the safety factor. As long as they do not go to the fragile maple bats, which are incredibly dangerous...

    Taillon has been down in velocity this whole spring. No comments about it? Maybe Sale's loss in velocity was due to an injury that some folks suspect has been lingering since mid-2018...

    None of which was the point. MY thoughts the day Sale signed was "Why did he sign for so little?" This wasn't some JDM situaton where no one else was offering money on an open market. This was a guy with only his option year left signing a contract extension for probably what I thought was maybe 2/3 of what he would get in free agency (and what his lesser teammate at the time got from the Red Sox in free agency. And yes, I think Price is less of a pitcher than Sale.) There are only 2 reasons. 1) He desperately wanted to stay in Boston to the point of giving up maybe $70 million or so. Of course, he still could have tested the market and still come back to Boston for more money and years. I have my doubts here, as these kind of discounts are rare, and Sale did hire an agent for a reason. Without never talking to either, I have my doubts that reason was to maintain the status quo for bargain basement pricing. 2) He did not think he was going to get a better deal if he waited. And the only reason to think that is he did not think he would make it through 2019...

    Obviously I opened a Hornets’ nest with my thoughts that the Sale extension was curiously small. But the Eovaldi deal was just flat out bad even before DD started filling in the blanks on his Free Agent Contract Template. And you just know when he did, Clippit was freaking out. “You typed Nathan Eovaldi. Are you sure you didn’t mean Lance Lynn? Are you sure you didn’t mean Dallas Keuchel?” Dombrowski would have been better off letting someone else sign him for less and then waiting patiently for that new team to get frustrated with him...

    The antediluvian blackout system needs to go. Just scrap it and actually broadcast your product without restrictions...
