Wanted to send thanks to Tim Anderson for being so active in our community and even owns a place not too far from our ballyard. Tim is our Sox best citizen.

Market forces taking over here. Four years and maybe close to 80.

Exactly. He needs a more distinguished name and he is playing in my country now.

I hope Cano wasn't expecting a ring in Seattle.

In the past few I have heard claims that Cease is the top pitching prospect and Elroy is the only challenger to Vlad Jr for rookie of the year. Not bad.

In a lesser light I see three pitchers were signed late October. LHP Ronaldo Guzman is a tender 16 from the DR so he will mature and one day hope to play in their summer league. RHP Evan Marshall is invited to ST age 28 from the D-backs where he amassed a 5.15 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in 101 games. RHP Homer Cruz is 19 from the DR with no pro experience. Marshall will be assigned to Coop's project list.

I think it should be more than a circus but less than a regular event. Two-way will become a thing. Check back in about five years.

God forbid we keep someone as a mainstay said the most anonymous org in MLB. But it's a great place to be from said the players. At some point you take a stand and forge an identity.

I would give Rondon a shot failing a big name acquisition and send Slappy Sanchez packing. There may be no room for Nick D in reserve with 13 pitchers suiting up. If a good corner is acquired Avalicious could rotate between OF and DH. He may be better suited for strategic starting and resting. His body doesn't always know where it is going which is why he is injury prone.

Fangraphs came up with an org WAR feature that puts the Sox at #3 for 2018 behind the Pods and Bravos. The Braves are already in contending mode.

Color me dubious about Harper moving here and especially wondering how a guy making a massive salary would ever fit in. If he saw something special about our program in 2018 I would love to hear about it.

They are in far different roles as everyone else here knows. No one is strategizing how to maximize Engel's development or potential. Just give him a uniform until you give it to someone else.

I try to engage the reader by inviting further input.

Time to embrace your fear. Unfortunate that Adam II is engaged tracking down child predators in Bangkok. Ron Bloomberg is off the market. Brett Lowrie is still in rehab.

It's always a joy when Boras over-plays his hand but I support the players. Trickle-down only works for the elites.

Theo was just saying that no one is off the table. KB likely has a chronic shoulder issue and he is an awkward too tall 3B. Great hitter when healthy but struggling to hit with the shoulder problem.

If Harper turned down $300M from the Phil's what would he turn down from Chicago. Just wondering.

Brantley is about what I would expect. Could be credible.

At 38 Cruz could be an oncoming disaster. One year plus option would be wise. Sounds like a Cleveland kind of guy.

I want to see my guys diving into first base every day.

Not to forget how the Sox rolled over and died in September. Where was Rikkay. Great leader of young men.

Sounds like an Adam LaRoche project.

Shocking. Any word on whether he can play LF.

DH is the one spot where we had a guy emerge. Let's give up and go with the old guy instead.

I am really disappointed. I have seen a lack of strategy leadership and personality that should disqualify him. I do not feel he is an MLB manager. He will not guide us to or through the playoffs.
