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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

He couldn't train minor leaguers how to hit the ball. Wtf is he gonna do with major leaguers? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
