    So... Eovaldi it is...

    Wow. Not even punished yet and already telling us how bad it will be. I hope you don’t treat your patients like that. “The last guy had rabies. You’re going to HATE the shots!”

    Cora stands a chance to be implicated in both scandals. Think this affects his punishment?

    I can just picture the defense argument. "Technology? We were banging a garbage can!!"

    There was that whole incident when Kershaw called out publicly for the removal of one cancerous player. Scott Van Slyke admitted on a coupe radio shows that Puig was the player. I think this lead to the bizarre minor league demotion and subsequent off field party bus stories. There was even a time in 2014, where, of all people, Hanley Ramirez (according to Jeff Passan) took Puig aside and told him "Don't make the same mistakes I made." He can be a colorful one...

    I think Wagner might be a longer shot than Jones...

    But when these writers make the arguments for best CF of all time, they always start by rambling off offensive stats. Occasioanly some defensive matter gets brought up as a complete afterthought. But when you have 600 career home runs or a 56 game hitting streak under your belt, you could go out to CF and the only time you actually use your glove is to challenge the corner outfielders to duels, and you're still considered one of the best of all time...

    He has a good history of bizarre behavior before 2019...

    It can be programmed to be a healthy vending machine. Every time someone puts money in, it breaks down and never dispenses any unhealthy snacks...

    ... which is why I thought it odd that someone thought he was good enough enticement to take on Happ's contract...

    Handful? It has happened one time...
  12. notin
    Yes. But I'm not a PED nutbag like a lot of people...

    The singer for AC DC? Yeah, too bad or good about him, depending on whatever happened. Same old story, I guess. But hey, at least there are no other Brian Johnson's worth talking about. And that makes me smile...

    Honestly, from a strictly baseball talent perspective, this move would make a ton of sense. Especially since we do not live in a world that considers only baseball talent and therefore Puig is actually an affordable and economic option. But if the Sox really want to stay competitive and reset at the same time, Puig is the wild card that can make it happen. Or derail it completely...

    ...if you're rounding up to the nearest half...

    ... when he wasn't suspended or being punished...

    I think he will be robbed. Same goes for Vizquel and Wagner...

    And you never have to fire them; you just repurpose them as vending machines...

    Puig is crazy, and that’s the only reason he’s a potential bargain. Whatever he eventually signs for will be a ridiculous fraction of what a player with his age and talent should get this off-season. Based on those two factors, should be getting a contract in the same neighborhood as Rendon. But he will probably sign for what Rendon earns in April of 2020. And people will still question if he is worth it...
  20. notin
    Right!! He wants this team to be competitive. That’s why Kevin Plawecki is in the argument for “Biggest Off-Season Addition”
  21. notin
    No. Robot managers. That way you never have to suspend them. You just reboot them...
  22. notin
    It’s certainly possible. But if all the remaining options who will likely sign a MiLB contract, who is better? Jeremy Hellickson might have to settle for a MiLB deal, in which case he is probably th best option. The rest are worse or less likely to sign MiLB deals...
  23. notin
    You’d never have to worry about this kind of thing if we had Robot Managers...
  24. notin
    Would you prefer trading Betts and signing Puig?
