  1. Maybe they forgot Herm and Cooper are no longer around.
  2. Look at what Bell is doing. Marlins are fun to watch. They are an underdog to make it to the post season. I'm glad he was traded so I don't have to tempt myself watching the shitty White Sox.
  3. Trade should be a forbidden word for Sox fans. There's logic and then there's history. History is ignored and always points to bad.
  4. He came from the Cub's farm system. The DH wasn't in the NL yet so I have to wonder would he have been traded. Sox are pretty bad at reducing players deficiencies. Sometimes I think they enhance them.
  5. If Jerry likes him he'll be here.
  6. The Rays make it work but they are unusual. Not everyone can model them and be successful.
  7. Red Sox owner tried the Reinsdorf method large but small market approach. Not really spending money.
  8. Like, "Hey guys I'm use to losing baseball. Losing 90 is part of baseball"
  9. They manage to find players who are clueless about fundamentals and have this belief they can teach them. Stupid on the bases is a constant and it will probably never change. I don't think they will intentionally tank but it will somehow work that way. They seem to have luck with dumpster diving. Funny how the free agents they sign are ones teams will think long and hard. Fans thinks building baseball teams are like in the NFL.
  10. Seems to me this new term thrown around when it comes to underachieving teams is "clubhouse culture" is overrated. I do think the team missed his personality.
  11. They don't want to fail being more Royal like. I'm gonna be a Debbie Downer despite this news. I'll wait for the parade.
  12. Probably not. Maybe the Rays could. At some point you have to realize a player is not good at baseball. I'd be really impressed with this organization if they get rid of Katz.
  13. This organization is still too Royals heavy. Sorry but the last guy ruins the list.
  14. No, Development has something to do with that.
  15. Ridiculous. Do you watch the games or just hate on certain players?
  16. See post above. To simplify it the Sox on a whole were groundball machines last season. At the same time Eloy is hitting those groundballs where no one is fielding them. 17 HR is not acceptable for a full-time DH but if he drives in over 100 runs consistently then who cares.
  17. That might have been another reason for hiring Tony in thinking he would bring front office people. An 80+ aged delusional owner doesn't realize most of those people are retired.
  18. They might if Getz and Grifol use the Sox as recruitment.
  19. Those are the dangerous games. You also see teams looking to win a division losing to teams they normally beat.
  20. Your thinking is outdated but hopefully it doesn't get to the point where increased playoff spots means you really have to be bad to miss the offseason. Baseball is following what the NFL did. This has become an interesting month for many teams and their fans. I wouldn't want to change that.
  21. I don't think they are alone in this. They seem to have this same pattern with players. They lack fundamentals in every aspect and with their latest IF pick lacks team speed. I don't think fundamentals can be taught at the minor league level if a player didn't have some grasp of them in the first place. Defense? Who cares compared to hitting the ball over the fence.
