Sox fans have been great during the rebuild. It’s been one kick to the balls after another, and people are still excited (rightfully so, but your casual fan doesn’t know all about the prospects like we do)
You’re a lot higher than me on Walker and Pilkington, as I think both have had mediocre seasons. But yes, the 2016 and 2017 have been epic failures up to this point.
On the other hand, our drafts the last 3-4 years have been so bad there is nothing to trade of value outside of the untouchables. It’s really disappointing when teams are getting good trade value for their 2nd and 3rd round picks.
