Abreu?

LOL. We are referring to a team who doesn't have much of a playoff history. If you replace the Sox with Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, that would make more sense.

Those were studs back in the days. It wasn't unusual for a manager left their top starters in for 10. That what you did with aces instead of wondering if you take them out after 5-6. Modern baseball is so pussified. I remember watching Nordagen would fall asleep behind the plate and forget there was a man on with a passed ball. I was at the game where the ball bounced off Leflore's head. Then there was the really good Sox in the 90's before the internet to get tickets and dad driving 90 minutes in hopes to get tickets Sox vs Yankees and being sold out. Bat day - no bobbleheads

Then again stink spreads and it got to him. TA in a serious slump is not good. As for Vaughn I wonder if he is soft. Abreu wants to play everyday. So does Leury but he's bad at it.

Vaughn is still in bubble wrap.

You must be thinking of a different organization.

I guess Vaughn should be traded to the Wuss Sox,

So after having a good game he's "under the weather"?

It's a pipe dream. There's definitely no pressure to perform in the Sox organization.

Fans assume there are other naive GMs not named Rick Hahn.

If you are hitting like shit in a Yankees lineup I can't see that improving here.

They need to be a little more serious in the FA market. Interesting that the teams that come out benefiting from the trade deadline are teams that are looking for supplements instead of dire need. The Sox will be seeking deals from a side of weakness. Once again they will try to use NL players to fill that need. Maybe, just maybe it will work this time. We are talking about a NL pitcher who has to learn a new set of hitters, parks, and catchers. That's not gonna work mid season. Paper is logical but history is reality.

You forgot KW is still around.

I'd say with plenty of things when a team is underachieving. I doubt this fanbase can endure being really bad in a bad division after getting these "big hauls" from other teams. I'm still puzzled over the management hiring.

Ozzie might feel that way about other modern players like the ones with sore legs. These guys are so fragile. I remember watching Cabrera limping playing 3rd. Then there's a Abreu, I don't think a limb amputation would keep him off the field.

Until they run out of bubble wrap.

I couldn't help but notice the Twins pen isn't so great either.

I'd agree if we are talking about DH.

Only possible if the Sox organization can clone itself, You can hope there are other naive organizations but I con only think of one right now.

What would be considered an absolute haul and providing the Sox scouting can detect it. At some point where do we see the results of a rebuild 2.5 ?

Leury's only crime is he is bad at baseball. He plays hard, Tony likes to rest guys hitting the ball or having Burger never pinch hit.

Maybe he should start a game or 2 over Kopech.

Their might be 2 guys in that pen that can handle that. I waiting to see what guy Tony uses that will have that moment of mental weakness.

You have to watch other teams to see that,

The manager needs to be traded. I hate the idea of losing player because of a manager that isn't right for this team.
