Tommy Pham lol

I looked this up myself and still don't believe it, but Pham has a higher bWAR than the Red Sox' five primary outfielders this season.

Pham: 0.6
Hernandez: 0.3
Verdugo: -0.1
Duran: -0.2
JBJ: -0.3
Cordero: -0.3

Phabulous!

He also takes fantasy football very seriously

Red Sox 1-0 in the post-Vasquez era.

I have never disliked this organization more than I currently do. None of this will get any better until Bloom gets fired.

Go easy on Reese McGuire, Red Sox nation.

(mods, feel free to move this to the Jacking It thread)

[Mickey]

Okay honestly what the fuck is going on up there

how about now?

To be fair I made that post about Hosmer before I realized he would essentially be playing for free.

[elliseamos]

Groome out.
Hosmer (for free) & two prospects in.

Bloomtown! Woohoo!

[Simple Torture]

It was just pointed out to me recently that Groome was burning through option years, which makes sense for how long he’s been in the organization. They have a 40-man crunch coming this offseason, so I’m surprised they didn’t sneak a couple of other guys out the door (your Gilberto Jiminezes etc.) or trade guys whose stock was high (like Thad Ward potentially). That’s probably coming in the offseason.

Bloomtown Express this offseason!

Fireworks!

Light show!

It's going to reshuffle the deck like no one has ever seen.

Or maybe that's two years away.

But just wait.

Bloomtown. So hot right now, Bloomtown.

I’m hoping that Bloom gets canned at the end of the season, but it’s wishful thinking.

[elliseamos]

No way. This is Bloomtown now.

Mayer and Blaze (with a Z) got promoted to Greenville today. Hopefully Bleis (with an S) will be up to Salem soon so we can actually get some video on him.

Is it Casas o'clock yet, or are you guys doing service time manipulation too now?

With the state of the team right now, and the fact that he missed 2+ months with an injury this year, he may not come up this season at all.

Or he comes up after August 19th and retains rookie eligibility for next year.

Casas was hurt all year, but the Red Sox have been in the business of service time manipulation as long as anyone.
