If we aren't going to chase Springer, Joc is the next best thing. He can bring a bat from the left side and he doesn't make me miss Daniel Palka in the OF.

This is quite literally the point. If you can't create them, you have to buy them. So far the Sox are creating them. As much as pitching churns, if you aren't replacing them internally then you have to try to buy them. The Phillies traded the wrong guys, didn't have replacements coming, and tried to buy their way out of it.

Don't worry, there will be threads for way suckier players. It is a long Soxtalk tradition. I think my personal favorite was Aaron Miles.

And the kid has less than a full seasons worth of starts, most coming in the most messed season in 5 generations. It's one thing to pronounce someone like ReyLo as a finished product, but it is way too early for Cease.

Sometimes that how it goes.?‍♂️

You cleared waivers and were assigned to Great Falls.

Maikiel Franco was supposed to be that guy.

Yeah, I have to agree here. You want more than one WS, but they was a very impressive run. I would take it.

Ok Boomers.

But that is what a rebuild looks like. Not everyone makes it, and MLB is hard. Most don't get it right away.

I have come around to thinking that they are instead focusing on Cuba since they wont' deal with the 12 and 13 year olds like others. Hopefully that is it.

Only the best.

There is zero chance he fires him. Tony will have to be the one to leave after what happened 35 years ago with Hawks. That is the worst part of it all. We have to wait for Tony to do the right thing, and we all know what the odds of that are.

Then we DFA you for not being loyal.

Guessing it was just way harder to digitize each piece, versus just hauling them all out and laying them on a table. There were typically hundreds of bats and jerseys at a garage sale. I get it.

Same. You can fill in spots with free agency, but you have to have the cheap source of talent, because you can't fill all of those holes. We need to be sure our player development stays at a high level, as does our drafting. Past that we need to really be involved internationally.

Which is what happens when you only listen to what the President tells you to listen to.

The President only believes in enriching himself at your expense.

Yes, the reinforcements never came and they tried to do everything through free agency. You need to have a cheap source of talent flowing to the big team, otherwise it all collapses.

And it was WAY less stuff than usual.
