    Metal bat

    Jesus Christ, you still have to hit the ball in the air to hit homers. It doesn’t really matter in that case  if you swing an aluminum bat or a piano leg. Don’t be dense.

    Vaughn is hitting the shit out of the ball, but his launch angle (just like the entire team) is lower than it should be. Your hot take is: he doesn’t have enough power for 1B.

  3. The thing is: Firing Rick Hahn doesn’t accomplish anything. The reason the Sox have been a dysfunctional mess is that nobody knows who is really in charge. Hahn, KW, LaRussa?  Or is Jerry so hands on that he is the de facto GM?

     

    Rick Hahn might  as well be the best GM in the world, but with the way the organization is set up he would be just another fall guy.

    Preller was terrible competing or retooling on the fly.  Realistically, you have to judge by everything from Tatis and that huge international signing class onwards.  That will give you a much different picture than his first run at competing, which was pushed upon him by an impatient ownership group…the same one that got impatient with James Shields under Ron Fowler.
     

     

    Matt Kemp, then to ATL for Hector Olivera/salary relief

    What was traded: Joe Wieland, Yasmani Grandal, Zach Eflin

     

    Justin Upton

    What was traded: Max Fried, Jace Peterson, Dustin Peterson, Mallex Smith

    What was received: Left as Free Agent

     

    Wil Myers

    What was traded: Jake Bauers, Burch Smith, Rene Rivera, Joe Ross and Trea Turner

    What was received: Still on Team

     

    Craig Kimbrel

    What was traded: Jordan Paroubeck, Cameron Maybin, Carlos Quentin, Competitive Balance Pick

    What was received: Logan Allen, Javier Guerra, Carlos Asujae, Manuel Margot


     

    The Competitive Balance Pick the Padres sent did end up turning into top prospect Austin Riley, but overall three years leader and this looks like a weak package for one of the best closers in the game.

    I like that you conveniently left out Matt Wisler in the Kimbrel trade who was a top level prospect and that they had to take on a godawful B.J. Upton. Just to make your Padres look better. 😆

    I mean right now, I guess you could call a playoff appearance as successful of a season that we can realistically hope for given the strength of the AL. 

    you have watched enough baseball that you should know that baseball is a high variance sport. If you replay last year‘s alds 10 times the  sox probably win that series 4 times.

    The absolutely dreadful Dbacks probably win that series three times.
