How do you spend so many damn hours on this site and not know who Jeral Perez is? The Dodgers trade was bigger than Miguel Vargas. Alex Albertus is also a legit prospect. Put it in your notepad.

Getz said on Friday that he's playing in extended spring training for a few games

Have you ever considered that the dozens of us that spell Caufield wrong are doing intentionally as a way to mock you? s%*# man, we've been doing this for 20 years. Don't make me feel guilty.

Imagine having your existence at Soxtalk being one that relies on the gratification of Caufield. Jesus Christ that's bleak.

Even if you are an actual Sox fan, which I doubt, you don't deserve to celebrate like the rest of us. I don't know how you feel about the Bulls, but I would imagine it's something like "AK is a moron and Josh Giddey is a rapist."

As a Bulls and a Sox fan, none of you haters can take this day away from me.

How long until the Cardinals start calling on relatively young superstar GM Chris Getz?

This team is special.

I hope he can come back with the same action on the change up that led all of baseball in k's.

Another thing, I don't give a s%*# about who gets credit, but Crochet had zero value at this time last year. He might have had negative value. That he was turned into 4 legit prospects - one with star potential - is a major win for the organization.

Giles was a 12 HR guy with great obp and acceptable defense. Pedroia and Utley were MVP candidates and borderline hall of famers. Meidroth will never be near that. I like Baldwin's athleticism, but he looks so weak. Baldwin in the steroid era would be an absolute beast, top prospect, certified stud.

Marcus Giles

I think there's the argument that he's old enough and talented enough that he would respond well to being challenged. At this point, I wonder if he hasn't been healthy for the last 2 years and if his back issues are so debilitating that he might not make it. Trainers can't really judge pain. He has a plus eye, and his inability to turn in pitches up in the zone is a major red flag that he's in more pain than he admits.

Of all the people I've messed with on this board, you and fathom are my favorite. I'd seriously buy you two a drink and I'd expect it to turn into a fun night. ...

Ishiba's my cousin. Incredibly well educated, clever and rich. He's also a union buster who drives a '14 Honda Civic, tapes his shoes, doesn't believe in free agency and won't sign pitchers not named John Danks to deals over 3 years. On the bright side, he has massive influence over David Stern.
