I mean I didn't want to blast you on the internet, but here we are so...

I don't hate Caleb or anything like that, but yeah, he becomes the key as the #1 pick.

I get the sentiment for sure. I honestly feel better about MHJr than I do anyone else in this draft. I just feel like this comes out like a Sox rebuild where they want a couple of stars and then fill in the blanks.

Assuming his arm doesn't fall off. Again.

If Garrett hasn't joined his injured brethren by then, it will be him. If not him, who the F knows. Maybe a Wilson.

Depth in the secondary is also a pretty big one. The DL has lost a decent amount of players. They haven't been able to keep any of the RBs healthy. Another WR depending what happens with the draft.

I get wanting the kid, believe me, but they have SOOO many holes still to fill.

Based on what happens in front of them they either need to make the pick of trade down and add picks. They can't afford to give picks away again.

Maybe there is a reason he is afraid of a "ban" bet...

Gavin Sheets is in this position because everyone one in front of him is hurt and/or awful right now. He keeps getting chances not because they see him as special, but by attrition because he can run to 1B without getting hurt. If someone better gets developed, they will take the job. Sheets was one of the last guys on this roster.

So you aren't even worried about Gavin Sheets is going to block someone now, you are worried about him blocking someone years down the road who we haven't even acquired yet? All because he has had a decent start over 12 games? Yeah that is the definition of unnecessary panic.

I am confused as to who is this 1B that a short term moderately successful Gavin Sheets has you afraid of blocking. I have to say that panicking about Gavin Sheets being good enough to block someone is a new level of Sox fan achievement I did not expect to see this year.

You say that like it would be a bad thing. That's more than we have ever gotten out of him.

He stole it fair and square.

Shaw is a one man tankathon

Oh Sheets!

Pen has been great tonight.

The SS never even looked him back. He picked it and ran straight to 2nd. He could have scored. The SS was playing in.

Terrible awareness.

The Bunt!

Garcia with an easy 8th.

The Sox with 12 runs and 20 hits in 17 innings against Cleveland after scoring 16 runs in their 1st 10 games.

He had to swing after they called a pitch in the exact same spot.

To be fair they are only allowed 1 DH at a time.

I know there was the HBP, but that was a great inning by Banks
