soxfan49 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Anderson isn't a top 30 player in baseball The Sox didn't develop those guys. They traded them because they don't have an eye for talent. They thought Tatis and Semien for Samardzija and Shields was a good idea Everyone involved can go f*** themselves 4 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in terms of hype/national attention/video game covers/batting title/Field of Dreams walkoff, etc. Marketing/recognition Top 30.

Having produced *only* one arguably top 30 player is though. That’s hardly praiseworthy, and I wholeheartedly echo your sentiments. Everyone involved with putting this wretched team together can get fucked. We deserve so much better as fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avi Garcia...failed to ever become extension worthy Drafts Keon Barnum Kennyn Walker Trayce Thompson LAD/Luis Gonzalez/Micker Adolfo/Steele Walker/Alex Call hanging on in WSH Carson Fulmer Zack Collins Nick Madrigal Courtney Hawkins Burger (miracle he even made big leagues after what he had to overcome physically) Z. Burdi Garrett Crochet (injured, was always a question if he could stand up to starting duty from draft day) Vaughn (jury still out) Rodon and TA7 and Sale...the three main successes Let's not get into second round draft picks lol. Barren wasteland. Edited April 8, 2023 by caulfield12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
