Lillian 511 Posted September 26, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) Pretty sure Olt leads the world in average HR distance Is Olt anywhere near as strong as his homers in a Sox uniform suggest? If so, now I understand why he was such an intriguing prospect, early in his career. I'm still intrigued!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sox have so many holes to fill would be nice to have one less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sox have so many holes to fill would be nice to have one less. He did put up very good OBP stats, as a young Minor Leaguer. I'd take a .350 OBP with 25 + homers, and decent defense at 3RD. Is that feasible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flavum 948 Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Sox 15-8 in Rodon starts. If you were given this figure in March, is there any doubt you would think the Sox were going to make the playoffs? Edited September 26, 2015 by flavum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you were given this figure in March, is there any doubt you would think the Sox were going to make the playoffs? Probably. It remains odd that the Sox have pretty darn good starting rotation and yet suck as a team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of blown saves. Terrible offense. Terrible defense. Terrible baserunning. Too many mental mistakes. Inconsistent execution. Lack of clear leadership and vision organizationally.

South Side Fireworks Man 142 Posted September 26, 2015 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) By that theory alone, they should go with Viciedo over Garcia. Yes, they should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
