Anybody expecting the Sox to do a full 3-5 year rebuild is just kidding themselves. It will never happen nor should it. The team has a very, very solid core in Sale, Quintana, Rodon, Fulmer, Eaton and Abreu. Plus they have Collins and Burdi waiting in the wings. The team is so close to competing that it would be a shame to start over. I could see them moving some of the group of Q, Frazier, Robertson and Duke but I think they will still go for it in 2017. Honestly who was the last team to do a full tear down and end up winning a World Series out of the rebuild?
This phrase is said every year, and yet the end result is always the same.
Why should we expect the Sox to be any better next year than they are this year with a core that is a year older and the bottom of the barrel free agent signings they make every offseason?
That philosophy is insanity - doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. The Sox have proven that rebuilding on the fly doesn't work. It's time to try something new.
