I can even handle the meatball takes, it's the human trash takes that bother me.

Is this because of that guy’s dislike of Latin music?

I feel like people are reading what he said as being about all Latin players. I read it as him saying Latin music, Moncada, and the guy on the Mets (?) suck.

Felt INCREDIBLY undertoney.

I can hear dog whistles.

This dude was given a standing ovation for drawing a walk, had so much flipping hype, and we got literally nothing for him.

The definition of a BUST.

Good riddance and this settles it, Yoan was the biggest bust of all our “Core Players”.

I’m sticking with Eloy. But man, it’s close.

Kiley McDaniel has Moncada with a 1 year $12.5 million projection.

Moncada, hurt again…

Moncada and Eloy were major busts.

SoxTalk marketing: I read your comment, paged back, and looked at another pantyliner advertisement to see what you were talking about. It was worth reading. I would donate to SoxTalk if they got rid of the ads. 
 

edit: the ad has been updated to a woman who seems to need legal help after being charged with a DUI, but when you click the link, it directs you to a solitaire type video game. What? 
 

edit2: now the want to tell me about what type of adhd I have. I guess I went soxtalk to produce enough revenue to sustain itself…I’d rather pay a monthly fee. 
 

edit3: can somebody change my username to “MATURE WOMEN WRITE FIRST”.

Going from a single payer to dozens requires a bigger infrastructure for billing, collecting, and tracking. 

With the number of current posters, plus knowing some will drop, the amount necessary for the remaining posters to pay would not be sustainable.

At least the guy came ready to play every day. Nice glove but otherwise over-rated.

He did?  Or is this sarcasm?

Yes, he was a player. 

 

Wait, did you mean baseball?

$24 million and a $5 million buyout for that effort.

Oh man. Hope he’s over the Covid.

If Yoan can ever stay healthy (which is a ginormous IF), I think he's still got plenty in the tank to be a 2-3 WAR contributor, with upside for more.  But obviously his time with the Sox has more than run its course.  From all the core (non-Robert guys) from the last rebuild, he is the one that I feel can still can put together some good seasons.

He could be the position player Rodon. But I just can't see how Yoan stays healthy.

I worry about him being more like Tim Anderson in that the leg injuries have cost him that fast twitch explosiveness that made him special.  Same with Eloy.
