  1. That was a vesting option based on Cy Young voting…
  2. Would you rather have Sale for 2024 only? Or Vaughn Grissom for the next 5 seasons?
  3. High schoolers are typically the higher ceiling picks. Think about it - we’re talking about a pool of players already identified as having potential MLB talent before age 18. Of course they’re also usually tougher to sign, since they have the option of going to college. And many use that in their negotiations. College players often took longer to get noticed. Doesn’t mean they’re going to be better or worse. But it does often mean they’re older. Wyatt Langford was mentioned earlier as making MLB before Mayer. Langford played college ball at University of Florida, and is actually 13 months older than Mayer, despite being drafted 2 years later…
  4. Some folks seem to be getting impatient with Mayer, but only one high school player taken in the 2021 first round has touched MLB. Jordan Lawlor has 35 career plate appearances, but that .335 OPS isn’t making it look like it worked to rush him there…
  5. Is he really doing that much worse than the 2021 second and third overall picks?
  6. Oh you think so?

    3 in/3 out

    You think they’re going to be out of the postseason?
  8. Cron and Joely Rodriguez opted out. Good news for Dalbec and Criswell…
  9. If you’d says so be it…
  10. Six teams make the postseason from each league, but it seems like usually only 3 of them from each league made it the season before. Last year in the AL, we had Baltimore, Tampa, Toronto, Minnesota, Houston and Texas And from the NL, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Miami, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, Arizona. So which 3 from each league are out and which 3 from the remaining teams from each league will be in? My thoughts: AL - Out: Texas, Minnesota, Toronto. In: Seattle, Cleveland, Detroit. NL - Out: Miami, Milwaukee, Arizona. In: Chicago, San Diego, Cincinnati. Any other predictions?
  11. I have offense. I speak goodly…
  12. Al Pacino from Godfather III?
  13. Grissom isn't kicking off his Boston career in a positive way, but it's not like Sale has exactly established himself as an Iron Man over the past 4 years...
  14. Maybe if we didn’t sign Liam Hendriks…
  15. It’s like playing MLB: The Show…
  16. Hmm. Van Belle reminds me of a young Greg Maddux. A real young one, like maybe how Maddux was pitching at 14. (Rimshot)
  17. I'm fairly certain I don't qualify as "must read." Except among the masochists...
  18. Hopefully that lawyer brought in his own much more reliable interpreter…
  19. Fair logic. I really don’t know much (re: anything) about how many minor leaguers a team can carry. I do know they don’t have an infinite amount of roster spots but that’s where my knowledge ends…
  20. Why dump Van Belle? He’s not much of a prospect but he’s not taking up a spot on the 40 man roster either…
  21. So… Rich Hill Round 8? The last Sox GM/CBO to not sign Rich Hill was Mike Port. Breslow is up next…
  22. I’m assuming nobody since the Sox let Lorenzen sign to pitch for Texas for less money than Boston themselves paid Liam Hendriks to wait until next season…
  23. I would be willing to wager that by the end of the year he can knock some 25.00 to 30.00 off of that…
  24. … that are centered around a down and out veteran catcher (Tom Berenger / Kevin Costner) whose primary responsibility is to mentor a young flamethrower (Charlie Sheen / Tim Robbins) with massive control problems while trying to also control the attention of his love interest (Rene Russo / Susan Sarandon). Both movies also feature characters with deep Christians (Chelcie Ross / William O’Leary) and voodoo practitioners (Dennis Haysbert / Rick Marzan), but only one really has that religious squabble as a side story, so I guess that makes them completely different.
  25. I always thought that movie was a ripoff of the much better Bull Durham. In fact, I would be willing to wager that movie was pitched with someone saying "The premise is we take the characters from Bull Durham, but this time, they're in the Majors."
