I'd be way happier if the Sox would have been able to effectively end the Twins season, but I'll take it.

That's going to end quickly in the playoffs. No worries. Twins haven't won a playoff game since 2004, and their last 13 have been losses. That ties them for the longest playoff losing streak of all time, and I think the Yankees will put them in first place, alone.

I'm very happy to be putting the nails in Cleveland's coffin.

I'd be shocked if Ricky did that.

Ricky doesn’t get the choice if Grandal is signed and he could still make it work.  Two really good catchers (Grandal / McCann), Abreu primarily at 1B, and Collins at primarily DH.  Use DH as the “rest” day for each of the four players.  If one of the catchers DH’s, Collins can catch.  If Abreu DH’s, Collins or Grandal can play 1B with McCann at catcher.  Tons of lineup flexibility with 3 catchers on the roster and with both Collins and Grandal having 1B experience.

Acquire a RF and our lineup is done.  Spend 3/4 years and $60-$70 million on Grandal and I’d be fine going cheaper in RF for a 1-2 year stop-gap (Mazara, Dickerson, etc.) to save the rest of their money on pitching.

I’d like a great glove man for right field. Is Sam Fuld still around? Lol

As much as Mendick has been dicked around by Ricky, he still gets hits when he's in.

Hahn needs to override Ricky by letting Yolmer go.  Mendick is capable enough to replace Yolmer, which would allow us to sign a reliever for $5 million.  And Yolbert is probably coming soon anyways.

Tonight I witnessed probably the worst and longest persistence of “the wave” that Ive seen at any sporting event in my life.  We can do better, Sox fans!

I thought so as well but was surprised by the crowd in general. 17k not bad for season being over.

Yolbert barely hit in the DSL, we should be basing no decisions around him.

He actually finished strong in the DSL.

Not that I care much.  He’s a backup infielder.  As long as he’s cheap, I’m happy.

Your “finished strong” is a hot five games.  Get rid of Yolmer because he’s going to be overpriced and/or replaceable by Mendick, not because of a 22 year old who put up very ordinary numbers in the DSL.

Sure, whatever.  Agreed.  Worrying about a middle infielder years in advance is pointless anyways.  We agree that Mendick can replace Yolmer sufficiently.  Save the money for a reliever.
