Another awful play by Abreu. He makes Frank Thomas look like a good defensive player

Yes, mgmt has to be seeing the same thing we're seeing. Wonder if they're thinking DH for Jose next season at this point.

Seems to cost the pitchers a good 2-3 runs a week with his poor plays that aren't called errors

when you lose the likes a putnam and petricka your bullpen is going to take hits. If those two were around, they would be dealing with the likes ynoa, albers, and fulmer ffs.

 

If losing those guys destroys your pen, then your GM provided the team no depth heading into the year. Same thing with having to replace the mediocre Austin Jackson with JB Shuck. Just a complete failure of an offseason for Hahn

Wait, Kenny Hahn said the Sox were at the top or near the top of MLB in developing pitchers

The irony, and Dick Allen always brought this up (incessantly), is how much the "lift and pull" supposed strategy of Greg Walker resulted in inconsistent results (lots of blowouts either way, lots of close losses), but at least the offenses under his "regime" were average or even above average.

 

Steverson almost floats below the radar...and he even has an assistant coach, to boot.

 

Walker didn't get Fletcher until the very end. (Or maybe I'm confusing that with what the Braves did.)

 

 

 

Of course, you can also argue that having AJ, Dye, Crede, Thome, Konerko, Quentin...the results for Walker SHOULD have been much better, comparatively.

October 3rd, I really hope we hear the entire Sox coaching staff will not be renewed.

 

Actually I hope by October 3rd we hear the whole front office will be sent packing. They created this mess.

Indians look to be good the next few years

 

Would've been nice to offload Robertson's contract at the deadline then slot Burdi into the setup role next year. Then we might've had the money to sign two top FA's. Would've saved $17 mill for next year with Duke and Robertson gone.

 

But then we traded for Shieeeeelds even though we get Danks off the books.
