Chisox378 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Do these players play Fortnight all night or what.... Nobody wants it out there. Fulmer has a great chance to be a starter and now he comes in and stinks, not prepared. Just blown opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bust and desperately needs a change of scenery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are going to be a lot of players from this group that get traded and are good players elsewhere. These guys have talent, it is just that the Sox are so far behind the rest of baseball in scouting, both other teams and talent evaluation. Whoever they draft this year *might* be the first core piece for the next Sox playoff team. Trading Sale et al was just a sick practical joke. while they have a good amount of talent here, the best case scenario is getting right back where they started: a 78 win team.

fathom Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Haha, at least Alonso is at DH and we let one of the worst defensive 1B of the last 5 years continue to log starts at the position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Even though Fulmer sucks this is just one of those nights. I still think Banuelos has a future in the rotation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the Sox might be the furthest away from competing of all rebuilding teams in baseball. I can safely say they're as far away as the Orioles now. The Sox had a 2 year head start and 3 great assets to trade and they completely bungled the whole thing. The Tigers and Royals will have passed them by 7/31.

That's not to say though that the rebuild hasn't stalled big time and Hahn should be ashamed with what has taken place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn't be allowed to make any more baseball decisions. This whole thing is completely fucked. I might go to a game or two this month because I have some free tickets coming, but after that I refuse to go to a game until Hahn is fired. I don't even care about this group of players anymore, because none will be here for the next Sox playoff team.

fathom Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Nothing has ever been more fitting though of Sox pitching getting shelled while Garland talks about how much Cooper helped him and the other pitchers back in the early 2000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
