Probably not worth it's own thread but the other threads didn't seem to fit. lol, and it's off season.

Interesting choice to call Devers a DH because of minor league games played vs. Chavis games played, especially in light of Chavis' injuries which made him a DH for several of the games. That might be a minor league bias though because Sam Dykstra is not your typical minor league analyst, he's pretty decent.

It's kind of the obvious way to get both onto the list. If you look, it's DH/Utility, not straight DH, so it's basically the "best player who wasn't the best player at his position" spot for when, like you had with the Sox this year, you've got two deserving guys at the same spot.

When our All-Stars come out, it'll be similar, although we flipped them.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC

Agreed but my opinion and apparently SP is that flipping them was more logical.
