Jose Abreu Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Mired in front office incompetence. Why is David Robertson still on the roster?? Why are Miguel Gonzalez, James Shields, Melky, etc. still on the roster?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 This is true. Don't get be angry about Sale and Q, because it's possible Sox didn't get fair value for those players and properly held out. But all indications suggest they could have moved the guys you mentioned and gotten something of value for them and/or obtained payroll flexibility at the same time. Seriously, we could have unloaded Shields... Plugged Fulmer into the rotation next year and had roughly $25 million of payroll off the books for next year (Danks + Shields), which could be used to sign some positional talent.

aryzner Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Should have sold a lot of the bullpen and at least one position player. The season is lost anyway. If you're gonna lose games, might as well lose a lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulmer is far from being a simple plug in. I hope there is plan here and it may have been JR neutering the front office with a change on the way from KW all the way down. Money should not be an issue with them going into the off season. At this time catching, bullpen and outfield depth are the major needs. Their rotation 1 through 5 is set. Need to sign two real bats.

harkness99 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Not really that surprised.. they pieces they had were probably two pricy for teams to pay. And if they wouldn't pay then that's the way it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Rick Hahn was sitting by the phone all day long just waiting for the calls that never came. Unfortunately, it wasn't until 2:59 that he noticed the phone was off the hook, but by that point it was already too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I have to take a step back from this team for a while. I want to understand what the hell they are doing and what may be their plan but right now it sure appears to be a s*** show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
