RIP Dave McCarty, gone way too soon.
I remember him having a walkoff HR in 2004 and taking up pitching in 2005. I remember him being the guy that used for late inning defense for Millar until Mientkiewicz was brought in.

That honestly makes me so very happy Wow, the Red Sox traded Anderson Espinoza in 2016, and his entire MLB career consists of 18 innings. Injuries can really derail a player’s career. I hope he continues to stay healthy and effective.

I hope he continues to stay healthy and effective. Poor guy took the brunt of the Padres bad karma for the medical history BS they pulled. I remember being pretty upset at the time that they were let off super easy and we were only really offered the opportunity to reverse the trade after the deadline when we couldn't then go find a different starter.

Mr. Anderson, welcome back. We missed you.
Wild that he's still only 26 (younger than Whitlock, Houck, and Crawford).

Matt Barnes DFA'ed by the Nats. He'd felt like he turned a corner becoming a relief ace, but I'm sad to see he's probably flaming out. He's at an age where guys CAN get it back but it's much more likely he's done as an effective ML pitcher. Wish his peak had lasted a little longer.

His velo is way down since he came back from hip surgery. Looking like he’s nearing the end of the line

Matt Barnes DFA'ed by the Nats. Remember watching him pitch for UCONN best arm I'd ever seen at that level. To think Springer was on that team too. Not bad for a Decent Basketball School.

What would this team's record be?
C- Christian Vazquez 1B- Justin Turner 2B- Yu Chang 3B- Luis Urias SS- Xander Bogaerts LF- Adam Duvall
CF- Mookie Betts RF- Alex Versugo
DH- JD Martinez
SP1- Sale SP2- Eovaldi SP3- ERodriguez SP4- Paxton
SP5- Springs SP6- Wacha SP7- Martin Perez
BP- Pressly, Schreiber, Strahm, Ottavino, Strickland, Ryan Fernandez, Joe Kelly
I believe their payroll would be just under the LTT.

What is this team supposed to be? Is there a theme other than it being active guys no longer with the team?

What is this team supposed to be? Is there a theme other than it being active guys no longer with the team? It is supposed to be a) just a list of former Red Sox players, no more nor less; b) a way for me to procrastinate from work for 15 minutes.
I'm not trying to make a point; I was just curious what this would look like.

Every MLB team could construct such a “roster.”
Player movement is part of the business.

Three of those starting pitchers are on the IL right now and two haven't pitched at all this year. I think it would look a lot like the last couple seasons here, except this time, with Mookie Betts. A good not great lineup that will be really frustrating/maddeningly inconsistent since it's so top heavy, strikes out a lot, and relies on starting 3-4 guys who are or should be bench players. It's charitable to include Wacha and Perez on the SP depth chart because guys with other choices aren't going to want to sign somewhere to be a 7th SP.
So it looks like the last couple seasons, in that if almost everything breaks right, 86-88 wins isn't out of the question. But it will end up with 70 to 70something wins, because almost everything breaking right almost never happens, and you have to wonder what the contingency plans look like when plan A is to e.g. feed Yu Chang 500 PA.

Yeah that's about what I was thinking.

He can be the utility guy! With a Rafaelaesque ability to swing between the OF and IF. I am just realizing Verdugo is their only lefty bat. Benintendi could have helped there but, good lord, I just looked at his season stats
The most expensive contract in White Sox history has produced -1.4 WAR.
