Oh even better, self-righteous preachings. I am not quite sure why you are down here in these depths or even here associating with all of us normal people.

And if they really did expect to be this bad, everyone did what was expected of them, so why are they getting fired?

If you make the stadium where to enter at the top of the 100 level like the rest of baseball it would be fine.

Stole these from Scott Merkin just to show the 78 would be a spectacular site for baseball

This too. Either they lied to us in the offseason for our money, or Getz just lied to us during the season. Either way, it doesn't make me excited to give them any of my money.

Yes. You keep telling us how we should all think. Thanks for that.

Taylor has GOT to figure out how to stay healthy for a decent period of time before we can really start the hype train on him.

TWTW + Fun = playoffs.

Yeah, this right here. Unless you are coming up with nine figures to give to me over the next 5 to 6 years (say $140ish for the next 5 years, somewhere around $175 for 6.) to buyout enough time for the Sox to be decent again with Crochet on the roster, you are pissing away a depreciating asset.

I am also against losing. I want us to win more than 41 games.

Jerry approves of this message.

I agree with what you are saying, but the Sox roster needs to figure out a way to add about 22-23 major league calibur players if they ever want a shot at respectability. 1 for 1 doesn't help the numbersdeficit.

Right up there will competing in the AL Central.

Him and Chris Getz.

Which is fine for a guy who would be a stretch as a 5th starter.

You really want to see him taking steps forward, and it is seemingly like the offense is starting to feature him, instead of the offense being independent of his own skills.

That would be impressive with as little money as they spent there. I still would like to know if the spending practice were Paddy not being able to recruit, or Jerry not letting him recruit 12/13/14 year olds, but hey, everything is fine in Baghdad.

Trading Mena wasn't even the problem with the trade. It was targeting Fletcher, and then refusing to play him for most of the season to see if he could play through whatever his problem was.

Miguel Vargas missed putting up a .900 MiLB OPS for four straight years by 14 points in one season. (.906/.915/.885/1.005)

Plus the bonus of not having any scouts left to help decide who to take on. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh I know. But I do have a morbid curiosity for the fact that they didn't even acknowledge my emails that got me on to this list 3 years ago, but also how much desperation actually exists there now.

A year or two ago? Sure. But today Jerry won't acknowledge fans after literally the worst season in baseball history, I don't really feel the need to acknowledge his organization.

7-0

Considering the narrative seems to be they have fired most scouts, including the whole international staff, seems to be a great time to be trading our two best pieces.

It is also pretty clear that the organization didn't actually prepare them nor expect them to be prepared.
