Sox better get used to the basement in AL central they will be there awhile.

 

If the Twins find some pitching, then I would tend to agree with you. Twins having maybe 2 of the 3 best hitting prospects in baseball really allow them to focus on acquiring pitching going forward. They're almost the opposite of the Sox in this way.

This team could use an off day

 

As Hawk just said, "right now, we're just not a good team"

 

We should all be thankful Ventura didn't sign an extension and this is PK's final season under contract.

When it's like this, tough to blame anyone because you really have to blame everyone. Just gotta brave the storm and hopefully we turn things around shortly. I know we can start playing better defense as soon as heads get out of asses. The hitting may or may not happen, but we don't have to give up runs by not communicating and BS like that.

Supposedly they are looking at pitching with the 4th pick this year. Appel and Gray will obviously be gone, but Kohl Stewart could be a real nice consolation prize. Ace upside but further away obviously. The Twins farm system has restocked nicely as you noted. Buxton and Sano are drool-worthy prospects. As far as pitchers, Kyle Gibson is legit and close to the Bigs. Alexy Meyer could be real good. Berrios looks great but is far away. Trevor May is interesting too.

While we touted all those rookies in the pen last year, most of them haven't lasted.

 

Reed's the only one looking good. Along with Quintana, Axelrod and Santiago.

 

Nate Jones has struggled, Septimo's injured, Heath is going back to the minors, Omogrosso hasn't looked good, Veal back to the minors, Marinez has disappeared....as it turns out, we might just have been REALLY lucky to get such big contributions from so many unexpected places last year.

THE BULLPEN ROOKIES.

 

Jones might not even last this entire season. We'll see.

 

We kept saying how we were the first team to be in first place with 11 different rookie pitchers or whatever the number was...well, most of them aren't a factor any longer.
