Im not defending him! 😂 Robert is a tough call. If he doesn't work out it was a gigantic missed opportunity because the sox reallyd idn't have a gonzo class. That 2016 class was coming in at budget, so they didn't have any 30 people classes. If robert works out, great. If not, our 2017 was going to be brutal as we hadn't signed anyone so its not like we can say "we could have had wander franco" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His drafting since the rebuild seems promising but it’s early. Im not defending him! 😂 What are you smoking?? His drafting since the rebuild has been awful. I count 2016 as the start because it was clear they were going to fall off the rails by June 1. Collins(bad) Burdi(injured) Burger(injured) Madrigal(meh) More of the same shit, different year. They focus more on floor than ceiling and that is their problem. They will continue to draft poorly until they take a balanced approach to drafting and learn to take calculated risks. You are more likely to hit a HR when you're trying to, rather than when you're trying to hit a single or double.

Or not knowing James Shields stinks? Or trading a solid SS for a bum pitcher? First of all, drop the Tatis bullshit. You seem smarter than that. (EDIT: He was referring to Semien, not Tatis. That's a fair criticism) Secondly, you act like I said PERFECT, when I said very good. Flowers has put up a 2+ fWAR season one of the 3 years since he's been gone, and hasn't even played 100 games in any of those seasons with the Braves. You're digging REAL DEEP if you have to pretend to be upset about losing Tyler Flowers to prove a point.

Dick Allen Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If all the bad moves were JRs and KWs faults and RH had only the correct answers, RH would have moved along by now. He had some opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball players have to develop. We don’t know that Collins is bad, the other two were injured, and you are already calling Madrigal meh? Things have to pan out on he draft picks. It probably won’t considering everything they touch turns to 💩 right now but everyone claiming to know his drafts are terrible since the rebuild do not possibly yet know that.

joejoesox Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Top to bottom this organization is an embarrassment, that picture somebody posted in the other thread with the ratio of number of years that the team has been in existence to how many post season appearances theyve had says it all THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO BE GOOD, they just happen to luck themselves into winning from time to time. Season ticket holders: no clue what to say to you folks. undeserved loyalty is asinine, stop fucking throwing money away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be one or the other. Jerry can be a bad owner, and Rick can be a bad GM. But if you want to die on the "Rick Hahn is a great GM, Jerry is just a bad owner" hill, go nuts. You're going to die mostly alone. The fact that Jerry is a bad owner is why he employs a bad GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Tatis in only 1 for 2 with a walk...and doubled instead of homered. That’s the only good news so far today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
