It’s time to keep track. 8 of them through 24 games, 33 is the record. Never thought this would be something to track but here we are

I think it's more that the kids are better trained, better mentored, eat better, and have more access to better statistical analysis than "old guys blowing out sooner".

Could be. But he’s also 37 now so last year and this year could just be natural decline for his age. Everyone seems to realize that old guys fall apart except for our new GM. See Maldonado (37) and Pillar (35).

And Amed Rosario has played 2B, SS, and RF for the Rays, currently sports an .843 OPS, and signed for $1.5 million. I also wanted him THIS OFFSEASON, not in April after a historically bad start. You will argue he would have never signed here, which is fine. But I still don’t think you even understood my post. I wouldn’t have even bothered to sign Pham when Getz did. The season is already lost so do you really think it matters either way? Are you truly excited for Pham to join this 3-20 team, soon to be 3-21 team, and save them? Clevinger too? It just further proves what an awful job Getz did this offseason. The guy had to sign additional reinforcements well into the start of the season because his roster was so awful.

One of the few good moves by the Reinsdork regime was realizing that Abreu’s career was waning and they didn’t re-sign him.

I think its higher velos. Hard to catch up to gas as you age, and if you can't hit a fastball, you're pretty screwed. Wasn't so bad when guys were throwing maybe 92 and hitters were all hopped up on steroids. Stone was saying how little Jax throws his fastball last night, and he had 97 MPH cheese.

I beg to differ. The Sox as an organization are some dude sitting around in their under wear.

He lied about his age and/or stopped taking steroids

I'm a little older and when I do some sprints, do a workout and then drink a few beers I'm on the shelf for 3 days. It stinks. We were all 27 once in baseball years but time waits for no man.

Did a bad ai write this

If guys were playing to their value, they wouldn't be 3-21.

He’s pushing 90 and it’s 9:30. I’m sure he’s been sleeping for at least 2 hours.

I wonder how many documentaries will they make about this team? After all its an historic season

Good news! You’re off the hook.

Absolutely. But they replaced him with Vaughn, so…

It's wild how guys are running out of gas more and more around 35-38. Hosmer retired this year and he's only 34. It's wild how 26-32 is about it for a ballplayer in terms of production. Julio Franco be darned.
