Princess Dye Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Were things to go south this year, who do you think would be scapegoat #1? Or most likely blame candidate, deserved or not? Some possibilities: -Giant target on Ventura now that he finally has big talent now -Avisail -Conor for not being big time Chicago tough demeanor-wise It will be weird not having Beckham on this list but alas all traditions must end. He's now a background piece. Edited April 3, 2015 by Jose Paniagua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAfan Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 We don't need another pessimism thread. There's already one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's now a background piece. No doubt in will Ventura #1. This board and city in general always blame coaches/managers. Beckham will be blamed because he is a wasted spot and prevents the Sox from having a much better player on the team who would have led them to the World Series.

ShandyMan Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Avisail? Not a chance, he's a young kid that is still developing playing in what will be his first full season. Robin is #1 by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 LaRoche. When he is bad he is worse than Bad Tyler Flowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Micah if he wins the job and opens 1-for-35 or some such horrible start. Seriously ... Flowers of course. Third would be the new guys (at least that's been my style in the past) if they pull a Dunn and start oh, so slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napa_soxfan Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Robertson. Long, stressful innings from a highly-paid closer are going to drive people bananas in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll hate on Micah -- I think that most of us have accepted that he may simply not be ready yet, and there's no reason to believe they'll keep him up and let him fail all year like they sort of did with Semien.

Beckham's fault Danks gives up 6 homers? Beckham's fault Flowers strikes out? Beckham's fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I blame Dick Allen for supporting Beckham and Danks too wholeheartedly... Maybe Wandy Rodriguez will be next if we pick him up...if nothing else, we can thank him a little bit for 2005.
