Results being second priority sure explains a lot.

To be fair, you'll never guess who had a pretty triple A sLaShLiNe before making the majors.

Seems like long term roster management would be a part of the "process", no?

Should be.  I get the “hard to predict six years down the road” concept, but when there is zero downside to starting a dude in AAA and potentially earning a seventh year I don’t know why you wouldn’t do it.

There are many different points here that you are blending together.  We have lots of 3B & 2B options that are ready or near ready.  I think it’s totally fair to be concerned with Rojas stealing playing time from them in Y24.  Kim is a different issue completely as he requires a long-term deal and his addition forces Colson off SS before we even give him a legit shot there.  I think most people would be happy to gain an extra year of control with Schultz & Smith, so not really sure what that has to do with the other points.

I don’t want to see Smith and Schultz on the Sox until late April 2026. They can get all the mlb experience they need in 2026 in what will be another 100 loss season. No need for them to see mlb this year.

I agree.
