  1. Chicago White Sox rookie Luis Robert is off to an amazing start. Hitting .354/.425/.542 and leading the AL with 1.0 fWAR, just ahead of Aaron Judge (0.9 fWAR) and Carlos correa (0.9 fWAR). Will he or won't he become the third player in MLB history to take MVP and ROY in the same season?
  2. I'd add Benintendi to that list, especially since he has shown a willingness to sign cheap contracts. That's one skill that you need on every team...
  3. Unless he take three turns every time through the rotation, it’s not enough. See, the overt message in RYAN WEBER IS OUR #3 STARTING PITCHER is that Ryan Weber is pretty bad, and certainly not good enough for that role. The hidden message is “and yet he’s still better than two other starting pitchers in our rotation!!”
  4. The most interesting thing about that list is the Yankees also only have two prospects, and Deivi Garcia is not among them...
  5. Casas is 85...
  6. I think that’s the goal, assuming anyone is giving up good prospects. Also, Downs is NOT the only Sox prospect. See my next post..,
  7. Potential for what? Again - RYAN WEBER IS OUR #3 STARTING PITCHER.
  8. You had a good run..,
  9. If he can't, why would anyone want him in a trade?
  10. Hey if he goes on a tear, NL MVP is wide open this year...
  11. Oh I would say that. And as much as it would anger you, I also don't think we needed any Air Bud movies...
  12. We really didn't even need one Gallagher, let alone two...
  13. I had to check that list twice to make sure they didn’t activate me...
  14. But in comedy (and politics), he’s a one trick pony. He’s like Gallagher that way...
  15. Ok but the deadline for an extra year already passed. I don’t think there is any ability, let alone reason, to play service time games...
  16. I like to think I’m funnier than Henry Kissinger...
  17. But if they hold him back for a bit to keep an extra year, how is that bad? Especially since that deadline has already passed?
  18. Daily play is exactly how he gets out of it. He’s not going to start hitting while sitting on the bench moping about losing a starting job. It feels like you’re trying to rationalize why it makes sense to sit him. Occasional break? Sure. But benching him for a stretch makes no sense. Let’s just be happy the worst stretch of his career happened in a season where the Sox chances of winning the AL East were about the same as my chances of winning the Nobel Prize for Joke Writing...
  19. Now Weber I think has some seriously good blackmail on Bloom. As in “I’m the number three starter or these photos wind up with CNN.”
  20. Right. Let’s not let service time stand in the way of the Sox chances this year..,
  21. Moreland is probably one of those guys who’s a better teammate than player. Statistically, it seems like he’s always the easiest guy to improve upon, but the Sox keep showing they just don’t want to...
  22. Yeah he might hold the team back...
  23. Office Politics 101 Anyone no longer with the organization is immediately at fault for all remaining problems.
  24. I don’t think the Sox could trade Eovaldi without having some good blackmail. He’s owed too much and simply not durable. Devers looks like a building block. Sure the Sox could arguably get more for him than anyone else, but in any trade of a marquee piece, you’re hoping to get a controllable asset you can build around, which Devers already is. So why trade Devers when you’re hoping to get someone like Devers back? JDM has the most uncertain future on the team. The smart move might be to negotiate an extension with a lower AAV but more years...
  25. Only 30 people get to be an MLB GM at a time. That’s the cream rising to the top considering the number who want the job. Some of them build losing teams. But that doesn’t mean they don’t know what they’re doing. Losing is 50% of sports. And it’s going to happen when you’re among the elite even if you are the elite...
