Who will they replace them with? If it's the highly touted young players, you should hope they won't be a bad team. Otherwise the future is bleak.

 

It's not. They will be fine (see above).

 

They would have to deal Avi, Kahnle and Abreu to fall off a cliff.

The immediate future is pretty ugly.

Again, it depends on who the Sox replace the traded players with. If it's just filler players then yes it will be ugly. If it's some of the more highly touted players, then they better hope it isn't ugly.

None of the highly touted guys are really "ready". No one is screaming to be called up at this point. Now that might change in the next month, but as of today, those guys aren't exactly setting the world on fire.

You keep saying this and continue to not acknowledge there a maturity curve with young players. Just because a young struggles in year one does not mean he will be a bad player and it most definitely doesn't mean the future is bleak.

See late 80's learning curve for Glavine, Smoltz and Avery.

 

At any rate, without Avi, Leury, Davidson, Sanchez, Kahnle and Swarzak doing so well, yeah...it would be bleak/er. Holland and Pelfrey have done about as well as can be expected.

Very true. But if they all struggle to the point the team is bad, it's an issue. They can have isolated struggles, they probably should, but they can't all be bad for the entire time.

Marlins-Braves is the only suck vs suck series this weekend.

 

If the Sox somehow swept the Blue Jays, they could go from 4 to 13 in a week.

 

So don't do that.

I hope Q throws 8 shutout innings an a no decision loss... starting a 5 game losing streak.

I just don't see this team finishing in the bottom 3 unless trades are made almost immediately. There is nothing to suggest this is one of the very worst teams in baseball.

Here's the issue though...who are they going to trade that is tearing it up so much that will cause us to lose more?
