Yep, the whole point of this upcoming suckage is to add one year fliers on guys who could turn it around and be traded for a lottery ticket, not old geezers on their last legs.

This is what happens when you don't clean house. Hahn and Williams get fired because they were bad at their jobs, and they just promote someone from the same regime who was also bad at their job to take over. Oh, but now some of these no upside guys can play defense though. See, its a little different..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn, I mean Getz, just paid a combined $5.8 million for two much worse players. Nothing has changed. The Sox are the same as they always were. The little amount of money they spend in the offseason is spread out amongst a few terrible players that should likely be cut before the end of their contracts. Awful.

Guys with upside are almost always cheap, key word is "upside" which means their current performance doesn't warrant a high contract.

Would 100% be better off just rotating through AAAA guys and seeing if something sticks then signing Tim Hill. He's awful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
