Jose Abreu

He said he'd do that if it was revealed the Sox did not make a serious offer, he didn't say that he'd do that if Harper just signs elsewhere

Just get the word "mobile" out of your links and they'll embed automatically

No but this does

Probably the case, but he generally doesn't include the "..." when he is simply re-sharing

I trust Ken Rosenthal over this guy and a cat, personally, but to each their own

I don't buy the specifics of it. Just a lot of smoke about the Sox being quietly confident from various posters

Meh. He has a pretty high walk rate and will probably get overpaid

I wish they did. Mostly for comedy's sake

I'm glad they had the stones to make a scene

Yeah, that game is a loss either way. My concern is going forward is he seems to think it's ok to bench an entire group of 5 players based on 2 minutes of play, and those 2 minutes weren't even noticeably bad

Perhaps. I can at least see the merit for it. But the second time? Not at all. It was 2 minutes. They looked fine, and the bench guys looked way worse. It seems like his priority is to embarrass the starters and keep them from developing. I'm not a fan of that.

Jim Boylen is awful. Bulls started the game down 17-0, he pulls all 5 starters 5 minutes into it. That's fine on the surface, but everything was dropping for the Celtics and the Bulls were getting good looks that just weren't falling. Then in the second half, the Bulls are losing the quarter by a score of 5-3, everything seems normal, and Boylen pulls everybody again, this time after about 2 minutes. Great way to lose a locker room before you've even won it over. They never saw the floor again, the starters played 7 minutes + whatever they got in the 2nd quarter. The bench was much worse.

It only took a few weeks for Jimmy to cause problems in Philly! Yesterday Embiid admitted that he's a tough fit on their roster and that it makes things harder for him

So he'd be a free agent right now. He'd probably be in that Bryce/Manny tier, too

What I believe you're missing is that peavy44 was not the source. He was just passing the source along. That said, you can still question the source all you want, but there is a big difference between a guy referencing an outside source and then imploding versus a guy making his own claims without outside support... and then imploding

Of course. Personally, I believe I do know who the friend is, but we indeed do not know if the person is telling the truth. My point is that the demise of peavy has no bearing on the quality of the information he shared. He and the source are not connected in any way whatsoever.

So because the poster was erratic and annoying, people are going to now disregard everything the source said? They're completely independent of each other, the source still said what he said and knows who he knows.

I'm not buying what peavy said, but I do think the guy he was quoting might actually know something. It isn't "his" source, he just happened to stumble upon him and claimed him as his own. The reality is that any of us in that group now have access to anything that guy says.
