Lillian Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) Pretty sure Olt leads the world in average HR distance Is Olt anywhere near as strong as his homers in a Sox uniform suggest? If so, now I understand why he was such an intriguing prospect, early in his career. I'm still intrigued!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox have so many holes to fill would be nice to have one less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox have so many holes to fill would be nice to have one less. He did put up very good OBP stats, as a young Minor Leaguer. I'd take a .350 OBP with 25 + homers, and decent defense at 3RD. Is that feasible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Sox 15-8 in Rodon starts. If you were given this figure in March, is there any doubt you would think the Sox were going to make the playoffs?

If you were given this figure in March, is there any doubt you would think the Sox were going to make the playoffs? Probably. It remains odd that the Sox have pretty darn good starting rotation and yet suck as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remains odd that the Sox have pretty darn good starting rotation and yet suck as a team. Why? Lots of blown saves. Terrible offense. Terrible defense. Terrible baserunning. Too many mental mistakes. Inconsistent execution. Lack of clear leadership and vision organizationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever the Sox get to where they are playing meaningful games, oh boy, they do not show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) By that theory alone, they should go with Viciedo over Garcia. Yes, they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
