    Danny Coulombe needs work

    Or DHing without bitching?

    I doubt Cheng is long for the 40 man roster. DFA and hope he clears waivers. Eaton might find his roster spot in jeopardy now and I don’t think he has options…

    Again, the Cubs do have a BA Top 100 prospect in infielder James Triantos who struggled in AAA last year at age 22. They could easily pencil him in, especially if he does improve vs AAA pitching. No doubt they prefer Shaw, but theyre not dead without him…

    Well, last time Milwaukee had Hamilton they traded him away to get Hunter Renfroe…

    I’m not wild about Durbin, but I also figured Milwaukee wouldn’t trade him and would just phase Jett Williams in over Ortiz….

    If Devers had just said “of course I will cover first base while Triston is out like a normal teammate would,” he’d still be in Boston…

    Plus every MLB player before him named “Andruw” has gone on to a Hall of Fame career…

    But everybody can Shang Tsung tonight. (If I didn’t say it, 5Gold would have.)
  10. notin
    His numbers are brought down by a disastrous first half, too. His second half OPS of .839 at least created an argument for him…

    So… Tolle for Shaw?
  12. notin
    It was but one bullet in O-Cab’s gun…

    And off the field, he was apparently an a-hole. Chicago couldn’t wait to get rid of him after trading Jon Garland for him. They got themselves a player who willingly threw teammates under the bus and called the official scorer during games to question calls against him…,

    Can you provide actual details? We get they’re “23rd in revenue spent on the roster”, but what does that mean? Cash value or percentage? And how tight is the range? Like if we find out the Sox are 23rd because they spend 10% on their roster, but if they spent 12%, they’d rank 5th, I’m going to use ChatGPT’s evil twin sight SlapGPT to deliver a CYBER-knuckle sandwich via e-mail (not a real threat)…

    The exaggeration anout the Sox offense has gone beyond hyperbolic. No one expects them to be top three, but having even a top ten offense shouldn’t be a deathnail. Except on here where having only the eighth best offense in MLB means “barely competitive enough for the Midland League”, which is CMass high school for you non-New Englanders. I never expect to see this lineup, but the Sox could put together the following C: Contreras 1b: Casas 2b: Rafaela 3b: Mayer SS: Story LF: Anthony CF: Duran RF: Abreu DH: Yoshida All those players are on the Sox and familiar with those positions, with Mayer having the least experience at his position. Again, that specific arrangement is very improbable. But on any given night at least 7 of those names will be playing (assuming all are healthy). However you arrange them, it’s not a horrible batting order. In fact, it might even be “above average” <gasp> It’s also probably not done. A year ago today, the Sox hadn’t signed Bregman yet. Trevor Story didn’t come on board until March 23.

    If Bello is too expensive, Sandoval is off limits…

    He also put pineapple on pizza…

    Ben Brien is not left-handed but he does suck. I’d rather have Bello and Early…

    That’s why I’ve had so much trouble demoting mvp!
  20. notin
    I think it’s still possible the Sox move from their starting pitching surplus for an infielder, especially once teams start seeing pitchers go down with injury…

    Cheap? Henry just didnt $6million for a utility infielder. When was the last time you spent that kind of cash on a utility infielder?!

    Clearly building a better Frankenstein monster…

    My theory is the Sox are going to take Hamilton, Rodgers, Cheng, and Kiner-Falefa and disassemble each and then use all best parts to build themselves their own brand new second-baseman - named Brendilton Chengalefa....
  24. notin
    Can he? He lacks both criteria that enable a player to refuse assignment - 5 years service time or a previous assignment. I don’t think lead years “injury rehab” counts. Now he may have language in his contract that prohibits assignment to the minors,..
  25. notin
    No, but he got to second base with a cheerleader. Close enough?
