Bannister has got his work cut out for him with Bush and Eder.  Very similar pitchers IMO.

Why are the Sox collecting guys who don't throw hard, and lack pinpoint control? Seems like a recipe for a whole rotation of #4s and #5s.

Yep, the only possible TOR guys are Schultz and Smith.  The rest are the type of guys every team has a few of.

Do not sleep on Taylor. His stuff is absolutely filthy.

Vargas has a terrible swing. Jesus.

Yes he does, and even when he makes contact, it’s soft.  I truly don’t understand how the scouts of this team can make so many bad decisions .

Also, it feels like an organizational philosophy that they want higher ceiling, lower floor guys after the debacle of the last rebuild with the uber-talented prospects.  The whole thing is just a disaster.

he'd throw a dead fish from second base.  LOL

Beckham likes talking about fish in the booth. Have you heard his patented talk about salmon throws from a few years ago?

I'm not even convinced that they employ scouts. I figured it was just Jerry, TLR, and Getz.

If relegation was a thing in MLB the Sox would be a low A team at this point. 

You have two teams with similar talent.  One plays hard and is energized. The other couldn’t put forth less energy.  They’re not even close to winning games now.

Firing only KW/Hahn/Haber but leaving Getz and a lot of his cronies in place shows that this entire operation is wildly unserious.

He couldn't train minor leaguers how to hit the ball. Wtf is he gonna do with major leaguers?

What you don't think Nick Hostetler knows a good baseball player when he sees one??

Hostetler stopped being scouting director before the pandemic happened.

Eventually you'll have to put the boogymen back in the closet.
