Thankful to who? Part of the commitment to rebuilding was the three tradable assets they had - it was one of the motivating factors. I'm not sure what your point is. No one alive was arguing they had a good farm system before the rebuild started. Edited July 17, 2019 by Look at Ray Ray Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be in the minority on this, but I think Covey actually presents more future value to the Sox than Minaya. He's absolutely been terrible - not denying that, but the fact he's hit 98 with his fastball while rehabbing in Charlotte peaks my interest as a potential arm out of the pen. I'd like to see what he could do knowing he's only out there for 3 outs and unload. Minaya seems like your typical run-of-the-mill arm that comes and goes for every organization.

Maybe if you review this year instead of 2017 it will look a little deeper, just saying 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad he cleared waivers. I have not given up on Minaya yet. Of course I still think Fulmer can still be a decent bullpen arm, so I guess I'm a glass 1/4 way full for those 2 guys.

Pretty sure both of those guys are already out of professional baseball and it looks like Adams will be joining them soon. I really hope JR is willing to throw down 300 to 400 million dollars in FA contracts over the next few offseasons. Relying solely on prospects is a recipe for disaster. Wasn't Ynoa the guy who couldn't throw a strike? He was a real gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hard-nosed negotiating. Hahn put a lot of pressure on the As front office to keep from cracking up. I just want to cry. This is all self-inflicted.
