What?? Shouldn’t the answer to every single player across the league be a “yes”???

Different Montgomery.

Vaughn shouldn’t be a part of this.

No. The Sox were built on putting together a video game worthy starting lineup with absolutely no depth. The pitching has been a blessing. But I know what you’re saying.

It’s almost been an hour. This account is still active. Must be a Ron burner.

TLR would probably have me sac bunt.

You have no idea how an organization is run. And will forever be an employee.

Damn. He certainly had the most “upside” of the starters available in FA. Personally, I am in the camp of not wanting to trade assets for SP when we can spend what appears to be affordable prices for one.

Quiet. This is now reserved for the much-more-interesting hot dog topping debate.

That’s reflective of one of my biggest problems with these rankings. I believe that his ranking is in large part due to the contract he just signed and that he signed it with the Mets. If he stayed on as the Sox backup catcher (never would have happened), I don’t think they would have rated him in the top 10. These rankings ARE fun - just not really indicative of much. (this post has no bearing on my opinion of whether he actually is top 10 or not)

I know he was once desirable (first year), but I hesitate at giving up near anything for him and his 2020 -0.2 WAR. Where’s the need? I would hope we are only trading for pitching at this point.

Keep posting. The “block” feature makes this board exponentially better. There are some great posters with fantastic insight. And you should look forward to engaging with them. The nice thing about the “block” is that you don’t have to look away with one eye open, tempted to take a peek. It filters out the garbage posters automatically. I have used it on several, and it’s part of the reason this is my most-visited website in my downtime.

What a weird thread. Started by someone who needed to feel validated. Propped up by posters who saw it as an opportunity to bring down one of the best posters on the site via mob mentality. And then not only NOT shut down by mods, but used by one to jump on the bandwagon and call names. I guess keep it up if you just want Sox Talk to be filled with Rons and the like. Maybe that’s the endgame?

Not karma. Just old fashioned poor management and decision-making.

I like the optimism, so I’ll blindly choose to share in it. That is, after all, what being a sports fan is. Fingers hesitantly crossed.

Whoa. I get your point, but that’s quite the leap. Let’s wait until a high profile free agent (not past his prime) actually signs with the Bulls.

Yes! Great find!

He loved it so much so that he signed with the Phillies...

It’s just incredible. He still may be UNDERRATED. (At least by the average fan)

I don’t get it. Why ISN’T everyone here giving him credit? Because we don’t know whether he posts on this board? This is confusing. Especially when I believe he’s continuing to show he does have some sort of source.

This thread is a prime showcase of the posters who like to b**** for the sake of b****ing.

What in the F*** kind of report is this?!?

Especially as to how it translates across nearly all factors in life - many much more important than baseball. It really is depressing.

Whether their logic is ridiculous or not, unfortunately, our team has given them every reason to think this way over the past 15 years.

Really wish the Sox had taken advantage of the FA market the way the Phillies have the past 2 years...
