Well yeah, the Sox called up Rodon the year after he was drafted and the Cubs called Bryant up 2 years after he was drafted. Of course Boras loves that.
Crazy to see the most of that core being DFA’d (Madrigal), options getting declined (Moncada, Eloy), or just already out of baseball (TA) like 4 years later.
Robert could be another down/injury plagued season away from joining them.
Agreed.
C) Lee (at least to open the year)
1B) Vargas
2B) Sosa
3B) Ramos
SS) Baldwin (at least to open the year)
LF) DeLoach
CF) Robert
RF) Fletcher
DH) Benintendi
We can "Hey, the Kids Can Play" our way into the #1 pick in 2026!
That's why I want to either just get Vargas his at bats there (leave Ramos at 3B and play the mid/upper-20s year old OFs in the OF) or play Colas at 1B (he seems to be closer to a DFA candidate than MLB candidate at this point though).
I'm at the point where I am fine with this. Or just playing Vargas at 1B.
At the very least, it would help secure our way to a top pick (or at least the best lottery odds).
s%*# location lol I used to park over by that bar and park just south of there back in the day for free parking and used to walk past there. Didn't even know there was a theater there lol
Idk having so many young guys that should be playing every day, I feel like any vet is a minor league deal fighting for a bench/bullpen role. Maybe a couple SP on minor league deals with the promise of making the club.
