The issue is, there were no true impact players available for RF. There were a couple of good ones but nothing truly impactful. Besides, pitching is where they should prioritize. They have a good lineup.

Every team in the AL says the same thing every year. How can we compete with the Yankmees? The answer is that money doesnt always buy the best team. It's not the NBA where one player can take over the whole game. Or the NFL where the best player the QB always has control of the ball. The best pitcher can only pitch every 5th day and the best hitter only gets a chance every 9th time through the lineup. Over a long season those average out but the short series is the ultimate equalizer.

15 teams didn't reach it last year. Only half made it. That would say it is somewhat difficult.

Again.

No I'm being serious. I really think there will be a work stoppage just when the Sox are ready to seriously compete just like 1994. I think the CBA expires in December 2021. I think there will be a strike. I hope it doesn't cancel the entire 2021 post season.

Because they enjoy the game if baseball?

Great place to go. My daughter is in school out there now. I'll be there in a week to pick her up and go skiing before reluctantly coming back to Illinois.

Want to make a wager they will have a winning record this year?

You have that to look forward to.

The best part is just as the Sox get ready to compete, there will be a work stoppage just like 1994.

It would be an easier but longer drive so I'm not sure it's worth it. Wouldnt have to deal with people from the city though.

Good thing you started this. You guys need help.

Oh well, since you put it that way it cant be denied!

Why? Just because he strikes out a lot doesnt mean he wont hit 30 hrs and 30 doubles. He will still be an outstanding player.

I dont think that will ever change much.

Vaughan should be ready in 2 years and he should play there.

I think he is going g to struggle early on but he is ready for MLB challenge. Nothing left to prove in the MILB.

Abreu has been a better hitter than Castellanos. His contract wouldn't be worth getting rid of abreu.

I still dont want Castellanos for RF.

I like the Colome one.

I know last year was a ganglion. But like you said there always seems to be something.

I think the technical term for his health is Ewwww.

Probably didn't deserve it.

For once we agree.

Could be where the sale rumors are originating.
