Holy cow. This will be controversial, but I'd sign him. He's much better than what we got. He's a cheap contract and if we want to build on our pitching for next year, we have room for him at second base!! We can release Lopez and sign TA and have him get his act together with a strong eye on 2025.

You can't deny we need a middle infielder til Monte is ready.

I was hoping a change of scenery might do it for him, but I wonder if the leg injuries sapped his real talent.  Love the guy, appreciate his struggles.

I don’t know if (relatively minor) leg injuries take away your ability to make contact with a baseball. I think it’s like 90% mental for TA. Don’t want to go as far to say I feel bad for him, but it does suck to see. The guy was damn near on the top of the world hitting that walk off at the field of dreams game and in less than 3 years he can’t find a job. Sports are crazy

Making the least controversial statement in my SoxTalk posting career, Tim Anderson is not as productive as Nicky Lopez.

Sorry but no way, this guy is toast.

Crazy that this 2021 playoff starting lineup was only 3 years ago:
Tim Anderson, SS  (DFA’d)
Yoan Moncada, 3B (IL obsession)
Jose Abreu, DH  (DFA’d)
Yasmani Grandal, C (barely hanging onto MLb career. Is bad) 
Luis Robert, CF (Only bright spot left) 
Eloy Jimenez, LF (IL obsession)
Gavin Sheets, 1B (L) (Bench player)
Adam Engel, RF (out of baseball)
Leury Garcia, 2B (DFA’d) 

WTF happened these knuckleheads?

Paul DeJong is better than Tim Anderson, and I never thought I'd type that sentence.  Hell, Nicky Lopez is better than TA right now.  The Sox have at least four players who can play 2B and SS better than TA.

I can very much deny that I want his shitty glove replacing anyone on this field.  Did you even look at their stats
