You've done nothing but essentially call people stupid for everything this entire winter acting like you already have it all figured out and the team is going to fail, yet you are still here. If it is that miserable. find a new hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And worst case, prospects (top end and depth) can be traded for stars as needed. The team was dogshit last year when they were supposed to see improvements from graduated prospects. With exceptions to Jiménez, Kopech, and Cease, all of their prospects have big question marks regarding their future. Picking top 10 year after year has done nothing to help the rebuild when it should have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And worst case, prospects (top end and depth) can be traded for stars as needed. Most of the division looks like the Sox, and while the Sox farm looks pretty good now, the Sox aren't exactly in the upper tier of talent evaluation and development. IN one sense the Indians' window is closing...but it's also true that they have far more productive young players on their major league team than the Sox do.

Lillian Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) All of this hysteria is over these obvious, yet questionable negotiating tactics. So, there might be some possibly unethical tactics being employed by Lozano, as the Sox pursue baseball's "bad boy" through negotiations with his sleazeball agent. Why should any of us be surprised? The bigger surprise would have been a normal, quick resolution. Edited February 18, 2019 by Lillian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Why would anyone think the team is going to be good this year? That's not my expectation at all and it wouldn't change even if we added Machado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
