  1. It is hard to find struggling major leaguers on the verge of breaking out, although Cashman did find a few this year. #stanislozolinthedrinkingwater
  2. If you expect 3 impact players per year from your farm, that’s probably way too high of an expectation. Especially since many impact players aren’t immediate impact players. Really in large markets, you just need the farm to hold the fort for minimum wage at first. If they develop into a player’s who are worth paying heavily, even better
  3. Now who’s kidding? 3 per year is a joke. The Sox called up at least four players for MLB debut this year alone (Chavis, Shawaryn, Lakins, Kelley). 3 per season is not a lot...
  4. But you’re wrong. First off, the definition of the word “ever” is “at all times,” and is not limited to the present. And second, as you made your original statement in 2019, both 1996 and 1997 would be considered the past anyway. By your argument, saying “Abraham Lincoln was the most recent US President” is a true statement since it was phrased in the past tense. And hey, in reality it was only negated by future events. But is it true?
  5. No idea. He hasn’t started talking to me about it yet...
  6. The AL West is truly awesome. That’s why they’ve won almost as many World Series titles as the lowly Red Sox since the AL re-aligned with 3 divisions 25 years ago...
  7. You’re kidding, right? Maybe Moncada, Kopech, Allen, Margot, Buttrey, Anderson, Dubon and Quiroz. But why would we want 7 or 8 minimum wage players when we can sign a bunch of free agents and price Mookie’s way out of town..,
  8. The Rays struggle to develop pitchers when they’re drafting at the end of the first round just like the Sox. But the Rays can afford to just plain suck every now and then and get a few draft picks...
  9. A s***** stadium in the middle of nowhere?
  10. And it's also why you need a farm system with good players who don't make any money and why it is unwise to unload them all for highly paid players...
  11. That Gonzalez has double the control but only 1.5 the trade value is a point in ERod’s favor...
  12. And while his peripherals are worse, the changes aren’t exactly catastrophic. His walks are up by .2BB/9IP, or 1 walk for every 45 innings. His strikeouts are down by 0.7K/9IP, or 7 strikeouts per 90IP. His WHIP is up by 0.035, or 7 baserunners per 200 IP. I’ll take all of that considering he stayed healthy all year for once and finally had a season where he should finish close to 200 IP. Also, he’s still only 26...
  13. Yankee fans can never say anything bad about any Yankee prospect. Unless it’s on the tail end of praising 3 other prospects...
  14. I thought you wanted the Sox to go for it one last time in 2020. If 2020 becomes a “lost” season without Sale, the Sox should move Betts ASAP and there is zero point in tendering a contract offer to Bradley...
  15. And they didn't use four players for defense. Feigner added a fourth "fielder" just in case his team loaded the bases, they still needed someone to bat...
  16. False, as they will no longer be the only team to ever do it...
  17. Start printing more money. And put your own leaders on it this time...
  18. Also, try this. https://www.zoomtext.com/products/zoomtext-magnifierreader/
  19. Well, build a wall and keep us out...
  20. No. Because no one has done it since...
  21. There are a few ball sizes, but I’m guessing you mean 12 inch. I’m in Chicago, where all the slow pitch leagues are 16 inch and no one uses gloves. Guessing your league differs on both counts...
  22. And it might also have been, as you put it, less ambiguous to not call them “the only team ever,” which really does negate your point since you didn’t say it between 1973 and 1996, when it stopped being true...
  23. He was the best starting pitcher on a team that made the NLCS last year. But hey, one bad inning, right?
  24. Tommy Pham is 4 1/2 years older than Mookie Betts. Mookie has yet to experience that stage of his career...
