It should include a minimum plate appearances factor. PNoles' reasoning is that McCann's contract was so small he was an oversight when he was going through contracts. Obviously that's dumb but I will say when I did the exercise it is extremely subjective in deciding whether to bother with a Minor league contract that is likely a major league one out of spring or just fodder. There are way more FA signings than you remember. But...mccann was a guy who was expected to be a 25 man guy right away. Pretty easy to figure that one out.

But he remembered to include Jon Jay. also a lot of those dips are not nearly as severe as they look after bunching every line to one spot.

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Very surprised they cut ties with Herrera as soon as they did. I think we can thank Heuer for that. Excited to see what Nick can do tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 So when Mazara comes back, I imagine the Sox send both Goins and Nicky down and bring up Dunning and Mazara? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) No Magical Madrigal, Javier Baez already has that nickname, albeit en Espanol. The rebuild will be over when Vaughn is added to the line-up, and likely either a corner outfielder or veteran starting pitcher in free agency. Also need to replace Colome.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Pnoles tweet aside, DH has been a really poor performing position for the Sox since they traded Thome a long time ago. Hoping EE bucks that trend but he’s off to a very slow start to the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
