I just don’t understand what they saw in Fletcher. Limited power, limited speed, can’t hit lefties at all….is this really the corner outfielder you want to give playing time for the next 3-4 years? If they thought Mena was never going to throw hard enough, that’s fine to trade him, but it sure seemed like they put too much value on someone they could play right away. Anyone with a brain knew this team wasn’t contending this year.

Then why was Thorpe the main trade chip back for Cease? Can’t have it both ways. I also happen to think Mena has more in the tank.

So the 24 year old in A ball with a 4.70 ERA is doing well, but the 21 year old in AAA with a 3.75 ERA is a “work in progress”? You Getz apologists are trying way too hard.

Sox went for quantity over quality. Other teams were absolutely interested in him, but Getz used it as a trade to fill roster spots at the big league level.

Wasting 4 million on one of the worst players in baseball was a really bad idea. The Braves trade sucked as well, as they didn’t get a single interesting piece.

Don’t trade one of your best pitching prospects for a 26 year old, light hitting platoon outfielder

And promised he could build a competitive team with low salaried, defensive-minded players

But he did such a good job developing players!

Like seriously, how is there not more concern about how bad Getz seems to be at this job?

Hard to annihilate if you don’t swing

Inexcusable mistakes made by Getz

I bet Pillar would have some interesting things to say about the Sox

Just guessing, but because he doesn’t want someone to take over that doesn’t view baseball the same way he does. Remember, he thinks he’s the only one who realizes how teams should be owned.

It was true last year, and it’s even more true now.
