The Astros have also had success with player development as to why they were able to accomplish that. As someone else once mentioned on the board, ..........besides starting pitching, what track record do The Sox have in positional / hitting players besides Thomas, Crede, Vetura, (just o name a few) within the past 25 years that have turned into bonafide STARS?? Even now,,, sure we have a boatload of talent.....................but we still haven't PROVEN to ANYBODY that we can mold them into being success full MLB threats. Example... Astros...Bregman INSTANT star. Braves,,Ocunia Instant start. ( I could go on to many more) That's only to name a couple . All we heard about is Moncada.......#1 prospect..........STILL WAITING................and KEEP hearing on things that STILL need to be worked on. How it flusters me of how we hear other organizations that have big names coming up...and they become Just that . BIG names that live up to the hype. Then we look at our track record history. UGHHHHH. Until this organization can PROVE to everyone that what we have waiting in the wings is LEGIT.......then who the heck would want to sign with us when we have a history of not being able to PROVE anything?? Seems our organization either cant scout or develop into MLB stars.......without some new excuse of being too young or STILL having to work on something and develop. Because of what i mentioned above....I REALLY do believe that is we get Harp or Mach, it;s only because we are the fallout plan because of where they originally were HOPING to go....fell through and didn't pan out as they had hoped.
