Yeah, it's a shame no one has really probed this line of questioning yet.
Why do the Sox refuse to do deals with younger Latin kids?
Why do the Sox have remaining cap space left over annually in Latin America? Is this because of the refusal to make offers to younger kids, or are they intentionally trying to save space for the older Cuban kids?
These two questions would tell us everything we know about how much of the problem Marco Paddy actually is. If it is an upper management policy to not talk to the 13-14 year olds, the Sox are already starting out behind, and it doesn't matter who takes this job over, it won't change the results. If there aren't any actual restrictions on who the Sox negotiate with an offer, the problem is obvious Paddy. So which one is it?
