Oh, do they all actually apply Who? And the Yankees, who have still been making the playoffs and winning divisions virtually every year? False equivalence to hilariously say the least. If that was the case for the Sox, I wouldn't be complaining at all. None of us would. Because we know what to expect from the owner.

Super utility guy to start and then you know Moncada and Anderson both typically miss time during a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a scenario where he starts out the season on the major league roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not ignore this. And some of the reasons we did so well are things that are considerably likely to change, which are covered in the bullet points. Whatever the results, concerns over the bullet points I listed cannot be denied. They are all real concerns. Barely made it into the postseason? What??? We could have lost 7 more games than we did, and we still would have made the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One bad week shows that the team is actually trash with so many holes in it they'll be lucky to do anything. Meanwhile every other team has nothing they need to go their way to get into the playoffs.

Hope he goes to the Brewers or Reds. If Semien signs with them to play 3B, that moves Donaldson to DH and there is no spot for Cruz. Unless they want Semien to play SS, but I don’t know what would happen to Polanco then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can also admit that this division got weaker and we are likely a shoe-in to win the division. That doesn't mean this team is as good as the Blue Jays or NYY or even in the same tier as some of the NL teams as it stands. As Ragah pointed out, the Rotation is a huge question mark. I don't think the bats will be as much of a question mark, but yeah the DH spot and Eaton are both worrisome atm. You two have a very similar posting style and viewpoints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
