It's interesting, isn't it, how a team will sometimes have one position that they rarely ever seem to get right in drafts? A parallel would be the Patriots and wide receiver -- in that example, their track record is so poor that it almost feels like they've given up on trying.

Any chance Verdugo could handle CF? I noticed that the Sox tried him there for one game last week.

I know what you mean. I'd sure like to see a little more of Robinson Leyer and Kyle Hart. I'm sure Hart's injury isn't anything he can't pitch through. Also, this has been a long year for Xander and Raffy. They deserve a nice rest, and we need to see what Tzu-Wei Lin has left in the tank.

On that note, this will always be my favorite Marcus Smart moment, sealing a victory against the Rockets by baiting the arch-flopper James Harden into committing two "charges." I LMAO'd seeing Smart give Harden a taste of his own medicine.

After today's golden sombrero, Dalbec now has 30 K's in 54 AB. I don't see this going very well. He's making Joey Gallo look like Wade Boggs.

Credit to the Raptors for being tough as nails, they deserve it. However, I have lost all respect for Nick Nurse after watching this series. Literally all he does is whine for foul calls the entire game. I get that he's trying to give his team an edge, but it's unseemly for the coach of a...

But we already have a Rosario at home ... :)

Sometimes I think "with upside" is just a euphemism for "haven't shown anything yet." I'm finding it hard to get very excited about a prospect who hit .242/.372/.314 at A+ ball.

Yeah, I don't get why the Sox are entertaining offers for Vazquez, to be honest. A great team-friendly contract for a good catcher with a rocket arm and improving bat. Sure, you could plug in a defense-first JAG to take his place, but just remember how depressing it was every time Sandy Leon...

Today, Mookie just tied the all-time record for 3-HR games, getting there 1000+ games faster than the other two who've done it as many times as he has. Jose Peraza almost got his kneecap busted by the first batter he pitched to in a 17-8 loss. Kevin Plawecki came in to relieve him. 2019 vs...

Honestly, for me it's just nice to hear RemDawg and Eck's voices in the background of whatever I'm doing, with a cameo from Guerin every now and then. The team itself has not been fun to watch, but at least if there were ever a year for us to suck, this one came at a good time.

"A lot of people my size" is a bit of an oxymoron

Here's an honest question, and I really don't have a strong position on it one way or another: Even if we have extra $ to spend for 2020, a chance to acquire some better talent, etc., is there even any point? This is starting to seem like a glorified spring training season anyway, and even if...

SoSH truly is the smartest message board I've ever come across. :)

Somewhere, Alex Verdugo is breathing a sigh of relief
