    Sorry, Boss. Badlands National Park is in South Dakota. Jersey has no badlands, but they do have bad air and the Pine Barrens…

    I imagine Houck is in the mix for that, unless 1) his back is still an issue or 2) he gets traded. Schreiber and Whitlock are also internal candidates. And I suppose Barnes if he gets his shot together, but I think that would only happen well into the season after he’s finally proven he’s somewhat back where he was…

    I don’t know what lead to the decision to use Houck as the emergency starter, but that’s one of those things that might (hopefully) have been avoided during a normal off-season when Sale would have been able to report his injury when he got injured rather than keeping it air for two months…

    You are watching a different game if you think McGuire’s throw was on the wrong side. JBJ is an outstanding defensive CF, but not being JBJ doesn’t make Kike average.
  5. notin
    I think your standards are insanely high. Hernandez is well above average in CF. But if you think he’s average, who is above average?

    What? That was a great throw, but Locastro is one of the fastest runners in MLB. Not to mention, McGuire has been throwing out runners 34% of the time this year with those “parabolas” while Vazquez and his “lasers” have only caught 27%…

    I agree they have to sign him, but you massively overstate the case. He’s not a Hall of Famer. Fun side note - once Judge hits his next home run, Babe Ruth’s 60 HRs in 1927 will be the NINTH best season total in MLB history. But it will remain the highest total for a Hall of Famer…

    The deadline went sour for Bloom, but the one bright spot from it has been Reese McGuire…

    The Sox do have last place finishes, but they never have fire sales and rebuilds. Cliffs are inevitable sometimes…

    Margo won’t cook for Trevor…

    Not so sure about their roster crunch because they unloaded a boatload of prospects to get Soto. But the particulars of who Boston sends are not etched in stone here…

    Or Boston could try a different type of deal where they take on money. SD gets: Duran, Winckowski and Seabold (BTV surplus value: $12.1mill) Boston gets: SS Ha-Seong Kim (2 years $17mill, $7mill AAV) and Blake Snell (1year $16.6mill) (BTV surplus value: $12.4mill) San Diego is very likely to want to pare salary. They have two $300mill contracts on the books (Tatis,Machado) and they just acquired Juan Soto last month. Plus arb cases for players like Hader, Cronenworth, etc. They’d probably like to dump even more if possible. They probably don’t want Duran all that badly, but he does make very little money…

    I wonder about that. How huge it would be to move Garcia. The Marlins signed Garcia less than one year ago and were clearly prepared to pay him. So just a few months later and they’re just hand-wringing and fraught over what they’ve done? At some point, if they were so desperate to get rid of Garcia and Soler, why did they ever sign them in the first place?

    Like Ceddane Rafaela. As I suggested…

    I’m closer with that one

    Again, you're operating on the assumption that just because you don't know the plan, there isn't one. And listening to Felger and Mazz actually doesn't put you in the know; they don't talk to Bloom either...
  17. notin
    I also don't like the idea of taking on 3 years of Garcia to get 2 years of Lopez...
  18. notin
    Not like I had a name! Not even the fake one he uses here!

    Sox have enough s***** contracts on the bench right now. Avisail Garcia is another one who just can't stay on the field. This situation is not likely to improve for ages 32-34. If the Sox are going to take on a bad contract, which I am ok with, can it be someone a but healthier?
  20. notin
    Wait!! Is our hero the poster? Or Larry?
  21. notin
    Didn't ask about your plan. But I will say, if your plan is for Raffy and Bogey to be "coming, or going, or both", it probably differs from Bloom, who won't simply sit down and plan by listing all possible (and even one impossible) outcomes...

    So one brief stop at the crossroads along the way to teach Robert Johnson to play guitar...
  23. notin
    I assume his car has incredible AC to handle a trip down to those fiery pits...

    That truly is the spirit!

    His home or Larry's?
