soft bodies are good. the muscle-heads are the guys always getting hurt.

This is what I always thought too. Soler coming up was always pulling or straining something. But was ripped out of his mind.

Avi? He's not even on the team.

Keyser still thinks James Shields will be the Sox opening day starter as well

Don't be surprised if they bring him back.

They've been talking to him which is surprising because I was told by someone else that when they non-tendered him he incinerated that bridge. Guess he came back hat in hand.

2 months of no one showing a drop of interest in you, will do that.

He had knee surgery in the off season. Probably the reason no interest.

If the team gets Machado, I'm definitely down with bringing Avi back to platoon with Palka/Alonso against lefties.

They released Ian Clarkin again. Your move, Theo.

I would assume to make room on the 40 man. Do they not like him as a RP?

Yep. I assume they’re hoping Clarkin makes it thru waivers. They also have to dfa someone for Jay. It has to be Cordell or Tilson.

Many forget about Tilson.....I give him one more chance to stay healthy and see what happens at the MLB level.

He is not an MLB player.

Tilson can't be counted on for a damn thing. The Sox have enough "soft body" outfielders.

Avisail signing with the Rays

That turf is perfect for his ailing knee and flimsy hamstring.

Rays interested in Davidson as well.

Jay gets $4M and Avi gets $3.5M

It’s not whatcha know it’s who ya blow.

Jay gets on base. Avi does not.

Jay can also move around and catch a baseball.

Of course not. Keyser happens to like Avi though so he will defend him to the death regardless of how good or bad he does on the field.

At the ripe old age of 28, he's too beat up to play the OF. It's a great signing for Tampa only if he's a full time DH.

Holy shit the Cubs claimed Ian Clarkin again.

Interesting timing for a Joc Pederson trade rumor. This has been on the table for months. I figured it was pulled when the Dodgers traded Kemp and Puig.
