IMO you are in a better position to win and have players with trade potential rather than hope a draft choice pans out in 3 or 4 years. I want more instant gratification since we've waited long enough.

The offseason will depend on what the Sox do with Abreu & Colome. If they trade them...we've given up on 2019. If instead they pickup someone like Keuchel and promote Cease they are making a run now. In any event...if things go the offseason route I like some of your ideas. I'm a big fan of McCann so not so much into the idea of Grandal and his cost. We already have a good pen and Gio when he is joined by Kopech, Cease & Lopez is certainly way better than today. My outside the organization additions would be pitching-pitching & more pitching.

I'm not ready to give up on this season yet. Injuries on Minnesota and acquire a few decent pitchers and things change in a heartbeat. This is May 31st.

This ain't over til the Sox FO says its over.

Jose with 50 rbi and 15 HR. Who would have thunk it.

I know. Just saying there are things you can do without trading anyone. Two starters of that caliber would really propel the rebuild.

My immediate goal is to get over .500 and stay over. When your over that level a good month can propel the team. Injuries on the opponents team and acquisitions on ours can happen overnight with ease. Minnesota is no way unstoppable.

Or we could consider a three year offer to Keuchel & call up Cease.

No...but the Sox Game projection is Sox Win...Sox Win...Sox Win Minnesota is hearing footsteps

I wonder if Minnesota is hearing footsteps.

Very nice use of Minaya in this situation.

Sox are starting to make believers of some of you naysayers.

I didn't but I looked it up. Still didn't get it really.

Eastern

Ramirez always looks like he's sucking on a lemon.

I went to school in Iowa many years ago so I know the type.

Osich is growing on me. Fry & Herrera are becoming the guys I'm scared to watch. The rest are forming into a top 10 unit.

I can see I will lose this battle of wits.

I agree. Just pulling your leg.

Sometimes a guy gets a chance and he runs with the ball.

Cromulent is a word you don't often find on a sports forum.

Alonso looks like a different hitter when we play Cleveland.

Cleveland waits until the horse is out of the barn to start throwing leather. Reminds me of us last year.

Actually Dylan and Manny have both been pretty good lately. With our current SP situation they have stepped up nicely. Just struggle go get into the seventh.

Ricky does seem to get caught with his pants down on more than a few occasions.
