He obvious said what they wanted to hear. And hearing that we apparently want to be in the stone age of baseball in teams in how we use data, I fully expect we will see the same feelings based hire for whoever gets hired next.

If someone is trying to tell me that all of those are projected starters, yes, I will question them, mostly because that is answer is a massive outlier compared to what everything else is saying.

Not writing off and projected as a starter are two completely different things. I expect you know that.

The only one that is projected (your word) at this point is Ramos, and the way your list was I imagine you were counting him as 3rd, and if that is the case, you can't also count him as second. As to the rest, I have yet to see anyone projecting any of the other three as major league starters.

Who is the 2B?

He probably gave up trying. He used to.

I went with 2030. I think a number like 2027 means that EVERYTHING went right, like 3 standard deviations of right, in order to make it happen that quickly. I think by the time we get enough position players into the system, give them time to develop, be recalled, experience failure and get past it, it is probably a solid 5 seasons away at best.

For the record the pitch that Robert hit was a slider that didn't break hard enough.

It's this. He is an FNG who knows the history of the guys who came before him in Chicago. The world biggest homers are the ones who owned this city.

By this point, you 100% are justified in making this assumption. If it were different we can safely assume that Pedro would be out on the street by now, or the line up would be different.

Holy Schultz! Dutch is taking over!

Curious what the pulse of Soxtalk looks like. When will the Sox hit the post season again?

Solid work there my four months ago friend.

I never thought I would be rooting for the return of Max Stassi, but get well soon buddy!

One who managed their most commonly played rival for 15 years and their intracity rival for 11?

Boring would be a major improvement. This team is a massive earthquake followed by a tsunami.

Some jokes just write themselves

Pretty sure the Geneva Convention should kick in soon.
