    Chase Meidroth

    Thanks for starting this! I guess "smaller" and "below average speed and power" shape some of the narrative, but "really nice bat-to-ball approach" and "just hits" should be, too...

    Nick Yorke

    I'm a Meidroth-stan, I love video of him hitting - sudden and strong to the ball. I'd swap him with Hamilton today (for baseball - in a track meet, it would be a different story). Mikey and Zanatello (and Grissom, fwiw) - all tools and promise, no health and production. Would love to see the...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    This Bs team is pretty soft. I thought they'd be one and done until they drew Toronto, which is also pretty soft, and has Boston demons besides. I'm disappointed that they played so badly last night, but tbh, I have pretty low expectations for the post season. I'd much rather that they beat TO...

    Round 1, Game 2 -- Toronto @ Boston

    Yep - the dreaded 'curse of we can attack but it's a struggle to keep the puck out of our own net' thing.

    Let's please close this off at 6 pm Eastern on Thursday the 25th. If you'd like to take bragging rights as the resident SoSH draft expert, this is probably the year - @SMU_Sox will be back for 2025!

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    Reboot time. I just got through reading a post on how AJ Brown would have sucked with the Pats because the Pats suck. After reams of similar arguments about why drafting a QB is useless at best, signing high-end talent at different positions is a waste, etc., because the team is a dumpster...

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    Is Joe Jacques the human white flag or the last man standing? Or is it context-dependent? I've lost track.

    Whole lots of QB hedging so far, eh? My draft list does that too...

    Turning the page: the 2024 draft contest!

    Back for another year, it's the draft contest! We'll stick to the basic structure: 1 point for each correctly-predicted draft pick or UDFA signed within 72 hours of the Mr. Irrelvant pick. $50 to the Jimmy Fund in the name of the contest winner. In the case of a tie, earlier (or earliest, if...

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    I love this. Heck, I love Jrue (y'know, in a manly remote keyboard dude kind of way). And I wanted to add that I think banners have value. And then folks who know way more about this than I do chimed in... FWIW, I think banner 18 is the most valuable one of all. Until 19...
