This is true. Don't get be angry about Sale and Q, because it's possible Sox didn't get fair value for those players and properly held out. But all indications suggest they could have moved the guys you mentioned and gotten something of value for them and/or obtained payroll flexibility at the same time. Seriously, we could have unloaded Shields... Plugged Fulmer into the rotation next year and had roughly $25 million of payroll off the books for next year (Danks + Shields), which could be used to sign some positional talent.

They really wanted to drive a stake into the heart of any good will they built up with the hot start.

 

 

This is becoming tradition. Disappointment after disappointment with this organization.

Mired in front office incompetence. Why is David Robertson still on the roster?? Why are Miguel Gonzalez, James Shields, Melky, etc. still on the roster??

 

Because ALL of those players are still under contract for next year.

Fulmer is far from being a simple plug in.

 

I hope there is plan here and it may have been JR neutering the front office with a change on the way from KW all the way down.

 

Money should not be an issue with them going into the off season.

 

At this time catching, bullpen and outfield depth are the major needs.

 

Their rotation 1 through 5 is set.

 

Need to sign two real bats.
