That is a joke I know but would most posters here be happy if the Sox went on a huge run and finished close to .500 or be upset with the lower draft pick?

I'm happy either way. Both scenarios have their pros and cons. If they go on a run it could help sell a marquee FA to join the Sox this winter.

Most of their top studs are 20 and younger. They got a great future but are still likely 3-4 years away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Games like these are the games even tank people like. The young guys performing well (Cease, TA, Moncada) helping secure a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 If the Sox get a full lineup and their starting pitching continues to perform well, they can absolutely go on a run to finish the season. They might not get to 80 wins but they can definitely win 75-79. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm smart enough to know when watching game 160 of bad baseball...in just a few days it will be gone for months and months. It's a long winter between games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now Charlotte is on a run and probably watch them more than the Sox because some of those guys on Charlotte wont be there next year and you rarely get to see Charlotte in post season bid.

Looking at the individual statistics, the Padres should be a better team than they are. They have 5 effective starting pitchers, 3 effective relievers, and only 2 or 3 holes in the lineup. The Sox need to concentrate on starting pitching in the offseason. Yea Grandal is a better catcher than McCann...but this team has basically 2 sure starters doing into next season.

Yea Grandal is a better catcher than McCann...but this team has basically 2 sure starters doing into next season. The Padres best player by fWAR this season after Tatis is their closer. They have decent depth and a higher payroll but no real standouts after Tatis. The Sox currently lack depth, severely, but have a few stars with a few more on the way next season (both internally and externally I hope). Padres have to hope for additional internal stars to emerge or trades because they already blew their load in free agency with Hosmer and Machado. Unlike the Padres, the Sox have a ton of payroll flexibility heading into this offseason. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/2020/ Edited August 24, 2019 by JUSTgottaBELIEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
