I hear them all the time on the radio down here in the southeast on the local affiliate ESPN... and they are a disgrace. A couple of women complimenting his muscles and Frank Thomas telling the women to get their men some of whatever pill he's selling? Embarrassing. I cringe every time I hear it come on the air.

Prediction: this thread will get more replies than Manny will get dollars on his contract.

this off-season is giving me gas.

I live in Charleston SC. Kannapolis swings through here a lot. If you need someone to eyeball a guy, lemme know. But the odds are, I'll tell you he takes bad routes.

At least he's not IN GEORGE'S BOX

I wonder who his industry resource is? Jim Bowden?

I didn't know Jimmy Rollins was dead. How sad.

Someone from Chicago calling LA a shithole is hilarious to me.

He'd be competing with Trout as well.

The onzie MLB merch usually comes out much later than the adult merch. You cool with waiting?

I noticed on MLB Advanced stats, he can't spin the ball. That's probably not a good thing when you throw 88, and in Sox park... you are probably right. Might be a disaster.

Alex Wood is a pretty good pitcher. It would be nice to have two lefties in the rotation. I wonder what the Dodgers asking price is?

Its a disappointment if they don't sign them, sure. But I don't think it's the type of disappointment you might be referring to... Its like getting a new Bike for Christmas, but not the brand/style you want. The Sox being in the news as a player for two of the best generational talents in the league is a big deal. And it will be kinda shitty to not see them play on the south side. But hell, at least they tried. That's the disappointment, at least for me.

That's not what I meant... I meant the lost season due to him tearing up his shoulder in ST "getting reps" at 1B.

> has flashbacks to Toby Hall / shudders

shit just got real. I had no idea of all the info being posted in this thread. Thanks, Soxtalk!

? RIP.

I had no idea. Is that based on metrics?

True. But during the World Series, Grandal was benched in favor of their backup because he couldn't catch. Grandal is an OBP machine and has really good power. But he is streaky as hell and seriously cannot catch the damn baseball.

I bought a Pirates hat because of ol Cutch. He's one of my favorite players. I categorically refuse to wear a Phillies hat.

At first I thought it was a whole lot of money for someone who is aging and slowing down, then I saw the OPS.

I really hope this is true.

It would be pretty sad if they only major announcement for the Sox from the Winter Meetings is re-signing Avi Garcia. ?

Maybe he overheard Kenny and Jerry at the airport baggage pickup talking to Scott Boras

yea but at some point the players just gotta play the damn game. We have a coaching staff. It's Abreu's job to hit, not coach.
