Anyone have confidence that Coop can fix anybody?

I don't want to trust all of this talent to the current coaching staff. I think the Sox will contend in 2020 but how one defines contend is a different story.

Only if you are Hamels.

I'm not upset they didn't spend all of that money on a guy who only pitched in the NL. Maybe the Sox want Cole anyway.

There's also Shark and Peavy. It's a Sox thing and no stats on paper is going to change that.

Should have gotten rid of Charlotte's manager.

Not a bad run for the Cubs though. Games aren't played on paper.

It's a cultural thing in Latin countries and so is bullfighting. I doubt this happened in the states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockfight

Should this thread be closed now?

While it could be a defensive improvement, we know Anderson can hit AL pitching, not so sure how long it would take for the other guy. The Sox have a poor history of veteran NL talent working out for them. Shark is just another example.

He needs to adjust to AL pitching.

It feels odd now that this team has a strength is at catcher.

Or fear he would be a standout player on another team.

The Sox seem to have no shortage of producing players that are only suited for DH/1B because of their inability at defense. Those are often the hardest players to trade to the NL.

I have to wonder if it really makes sense to spend that kind of money on a guy that is out there every 5 days. Cole wont win the division for this team. As bad as the staff was last year I don't have any confidence in Cooper.
