Add in a bad pen and it will be even worse. Team ERA closing in on 6, and they weren't exactly facing the 27 Yankees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has its own issues, but I think we will see Moncada become a star by the end of this year. Timmy Anderson is making progress too. Still...this rebuild is going to be a lot harder than I think most everyone thinks. I'll have a stronger opinion on how we are trending by the end of June.

Avi being one of the worst players in baseball has really hurt. Everyone else is performing as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those hitters like Morrison, Alonso and Chris Taylor who had breakouts ast yeaar are really scuffling. Finally, send Engel down in the next week if his offensive and defensive struggles continue. Edited April 21, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have confidence in Moncada, we just need to accept he will never be a high average hitter. It's only been 3 weeks, but it's the whole team has taken a step backward, with exception of maybe ReyLo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryzner Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 This team is legitimately capable of losing 120 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 people are kidding themselves if they think this team is anywhere close to contending next year without a massive FA splash or two (or three) what an awful team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I didn't think it was possible but these guys could lose at least 100 games this year. Sox pitchers have given up 40 runs in the last four games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Rodon comes back and Kopech is the real deal, than you feel a lot better. There are a lot of "ifs" key to all of this though. Hahn and company better keep drafting well and the Getz and the minor league staff better develop guys. We need more than just the people we traded for to pan out.

soxforlife05 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Rodon will never be re-signed so we are really hoping he comes back strong so he can be traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
