Ah, gotcha. That makes total sense then, thanks.

Right, and that’s all I’m getting at. Most of us were dreaming pretty big after his 2023 season, where him taking another step didn’t seem all that far fetched at the time. To say now that AT BEST he was only going to maintain his current value, and not increase it, feels like hindsight to me.

Yeah I don’t buy this at all. Based on what exactly?

I’m here for all the soda metaphors, especially in our new Oscar Colas-less existence.

He was rocking a .501 OPS in 29 games between AA and AAA this year. He’s done nothing to earn more of an opportunity.

Well yeah, but since when are we viewing the Sox payroll through that lens?

Maybe they paid him with one of those novelty oversized checks.

Yeah but Basallo’s minor league numbers or something

I don’t know if this is Red Sox fans as much as it is some absolute dumbfuck gamblers that would otherwise have no rooting interest.

Seeing as how Vaughn isn’t even a good enough athlete to play first base, the fact that he was tried in the outfield just gets more and more insane as time passes.

I didn’t realize Cruz is almost 27. Thought he was about 3 years younger than that. But no idea on the actual question. This is the Spiderman pointing meme. Neither team is good at developing players, neither team spends on good players in free agency, and both teams have owners who are major impediments to the teams success.

The Rockies might not win 30 games this year.

My big takeaway is I had no idea that’s how bettors was spelled.

For the record, I both hate this move and think it’s fine.

You know the rules. If you’re not spitting out the same bot-like replies about Getz being bad, that means you think he’s doing good and everything is fine.

Maybe not to the extreme of Robert, but we saw it with Eloy, Yoan and TA as well.

Good. Anything they get from him should be considered a bonus IMO.

Eh, he’s having fun. We’d love it if he was on the Sox and doing that stuff.

Ignoring? No. The thread was originally about his hitting. But he looks to be as middle of the pack as you can get for Outs Above Average metrics. 17th out of 35 qualified 3B, good for literally 0 outs above average lol.

Yeah I just don’t care to see any more of his at bats at this point, which really fucking sucks. It can never be understated how big of a letdown the Yoan, Eloy, Kopech and Robert core was. Like odds-defying levels of failure.

I mean you literally made up a Hahn quote that he never said in your previous post:

He needs to keep it up, but the improvement has been great to see. Glad the org had more patience with him than most of this board did.

They look better, but they can definitely still break it.

How about don’t let someone else’s blind optimism bother you?
