And not one of them faced AL pitching or faced AL hitters....

Wayne Nordhagen musta been before your time.

Our luck Manny would have gotten injured.

I really think the Sox should get organization guys that work in the Cardinal system.

Ricketts did it right. He got people from winning organizations. Their scouting is very good. We were lucky to fleece them of two good prospects for Q. Plus there is some luck involved when hitting on draft choices. Some don't remember the Sox where a hot product in the 80's. Before the days of online ticket sales, our family would drive over 60 miles to the park to get tickets and had to go back home.

The problem is ownership is content with that. You can't fix that.

That market rate was $300M guaranteed. Who knew and only one team offered that. Free agency didn't linger this long at one time.

Last season I started watching the farm system. It's a lot more fun.

I'd be afraid to give him more not knowing how he will play in the AL. The Sox seem to have bad luck in that regard.

I wouldn't cheer for the Cubs but I'm envious of their organization. They are superior to the Sox. Two young studs in our organization were former Cub products.

People who say they got lucky in 2005 needs to be punched in the nuts.

So far Soxtalk has not broken the internet.

It's been that way for a long time when it comes to player development. You try to get the best executives/instructors from other winning organizations. The buddy system doesn't work.

I'm starting to think this organization is cursed.

Sometimes those contracts start to look bad around year 7 and does a franchise really get their money's worth? It's not the end of the world.
