    Sox sign Wacha

    I’m with the majority here. Scrap heap guy. If it’s $3m, I get it. If it’s $5m, I hate it. Starting pitching depth is important but he’s not even a #5.

    Three True Outcomes, The Bobby Dalbec Thread.

    Bobby D has obviously been working very hard on picking skills at first base. His approach to the ball in the dirt is much smoother than earlier in the year. He was poking at it. Now he’s using a softer, slower and less aggressive approach. He can hit. I watched him for three years at the...

    Post Season Poll

    Just keep playing well against the bad teams. Gotta sweep Baltimore again. Mets are fading, Yankees are fading, Nationals are rebuilding. Pitch, play defense and have good AB’s. They’ll lose a few but if they play well, they should win enough of them

Just let...

    2021 Draft

    I don’t post here very often and don’t want to sound like Captain Obvious, but the first college senior drafted will indicate what they’ve agreed to over/under pay. If they have Mayer at or under slot, they might over pay in the 2nd or 3rd round and draft the senior in the 4th or 5th. If they...

    2021 Draft

    At #4, they know his number. You don’t draft a player at #4 who you don’t have an outline of an agreement with. They’ve done work on EVERYONE in the top 300. I read something back in late June about the Sox trying to manipulate their way into getting Mayer to fall to them. A player can give...
