Sign him up.

I'll bet he gets at least 16 million a year. The years length is the question. If he accepted a 3 year deal he might get 18-20 MPY.

Castellanos sure had an incredible amount of doubles for the Tigers. He also led the league in triples once. He'll be 28 next year, and in the right park he could do some real damage. He doesn't walk enough, and his defense is lousy any where you put him. Who knows, maybe he could play a passable 1b. Seems the Sox have enough of those on the 40 man roster already. I once looked at stats for slugging 1B and OF guys and how their bats held up at their age 33 season. HOF guys didn't have a problem. Guys who were close to but not great plummeted. The obvious question is which type of player is Jose Abreu? If he had been born else where and made it to the Majors at 21-22. would his stats stack up? Defense aside, I don't know which guy he will be. If he's a close to but not great, he might crater next year and be out produced by Castellanos.

Excellent chart. actually a model of steady production. Add in last years missed september and the all star break and he'd be in Bernie Madoff territory. I know he's getting older, but better players tend to age better. He might be worth a 2-3 year extension.

Was wondering with all the high school and college and MLB pitchers with bad arms, if it 's time to look at knuckle ballers again. Seems to me if guys with sub 5.00 era's who can take the ball every 5 days have value, then Wilbur Wood's salary would be about 40 million a year. Do players even mess around with this pitch any more? Last one i remember is Tom Candiotti.

What a waste.

bring back Ozzie. tell him to leave his sons at home.

No post season in 1918. Flu epidemic.

Bonds not on steroids almost broke the game. Hey, I don't blast you like some others, but I think you're wrong on Madrigal and Vaughn. Yes, the Sox took more advanced college players with those picks. That doesn't mean there were better players still on the board. Every draft is different and last years draft was pretty thin. Getting Vaughn was just fine. Getting Madrigal at 5 is a steal.

I always liked the Gary Redus era uniforms.

I've read that 2020 draft is very deep. Will probably get a good prospect even at 13. Might be the time for a high school pick.

Don't hurry back on my account.

I agree. Spend some money for more pitching. All I was saying is don't expect the moon and stars immediately from Robert and Madrigal. There will be an adjustment period.

I'm almost as excited about Madrigal. The guy played better at 3A than A. The last 6 weeks or so , he really started working counts and drawing walks. I'm sure 2020 will be a learning curve for both players, but 2021 looks very promising. Throw in the defensive and base running upgrades, then stand back and enjoy.

weren't they also the texas rangers? weird team history. don't forget the orioles were once the st. louis browns. bad franchise history there, with 30 years of excellence mixed in.1960's-1990's

don't forget the Hawkeroo.

Moncada good-Sox bad

Just about ready to write him off as a capitol loss. 2 years of lost development has got to be tough to overcome.

I hope he catches every game left this season. Hopefully he'll help us land the 7-8 spot in next years draft. While we're on the subject. Is every one else happy to know, we never have to root for losses again after this September?

Ouch!

the guy was hurt in spring training. Got a 2 week look and was sent packing. It really doesn't matter. we aren't good enough yet any way. but it seemed a little harsh. He did just fine last year.

Sox should release Yolmer and have Leury start the year at second. Spend what it takes to get the best 2 year solution in RF. Skip Grandal and spend the rest on Pitching.

I've seen his swing in clips of games. He doesn"t have a ground ball swing

Sox aren't f***ing around this year. If they all kick ass, the Sox have more valuable trade chips or building blocks. If they stink it up, Hahn will probably be fired.

Don't talk about me like that. p.s. One time the boss told us he was gonna start paying us what we were worth. Some guy in the back grumbled that he couldn't make it on that.
