i mean, if they think he's better by enough of a margin that it's worth moving castro off his position, i'll leave that up to the FO. all i have are online scouting reports and video clips. in that case, russell plays ss and castro and valbuena can take the other two spots.

if anything just throw him in cf and pray then

[Sammy Sofa]

But Cespedes would be so much more fun to watch. Valbuena just has his bat flip.

cespedes alcantara soler

 

bryant russell castro rizzo

 

although I don't really know how alcantara did in CF last year

[Gilby]

Put Russell at 3B, let him get fat again, and see if he can hit 30 bombs.

RT @JonHeymanCBS: hear lester has 6-year and 7-year offers. wont necessarily take the biggest $ offer tho.

[gscool89]

Jon Lester's final decision might bleed over into Wednesday, as he sorts through offers that now include 6/150m from multiple teams.

 

Get the [expletive] out of here.

Jon Lester pursuit tough on Theo Epstein. He loves him but says "you can’t go into any pursuit at all cost, throwing reason to the wind.''

Translation: "Get ready to be disappointed."

[TruffleShuffle]

what is that, like the 90th smoke signal that people have needlessly interpreted as "whelp get ready to be disappointed because we're not getting him"

Cubs fans will be like this till at least a replication of the 1950s Yankees happens for the Cobs.
