They fill 80,000 seat stadiums. Do you follow sports at all?

Lowering Expectations should be this teams theme.

It is no coincidence that once Getz started dropping the over the hill utility guys for the kids, the team improved.

Or apples to Bananas 🍌

If this is Andrew Vaughn going forward there should 100% be some questions on what the hell happened while he was here. Fans being sick of Vaughn sucking couldn't matter less and isn't the main issue here. Self-evaluation on the talent and the franchises ability to maximize it is 100% the main takeaway.

So if the drafting wasn't the problem...

Is this you not name calling?

Sure do better than whatever he has been doing.

It's crazy that a gimmick baseball team is going to draw in two days what the Sox draw in a decent homestand.

For like the 18th time, just stop.

There are actually a group of teams in their "league" that the rotate through playing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_Ball#:~:text=The league has four teams,Firefighters%2C and the Texas Tailgaters.

One more time, take your own advice.

The difference being PCA is cheap with six years of control, and Tucker is about to cost like half a billion dollars.

Nah, I know PCA turns off a lot of people with his show, but we'd be jerking him off if he was a White Sox.

Bro, I couldn't even get picked to get into the lottery!

The top take away should clearly be that you can never have enough prospect strength. Teams that are almost always near the top of the ranks go aggressively EVERYWHERE. US, Latin America, Asia, etc. Leave no stone unturned. There is no so such thing as "too much" when it comes to the minor leagues.

That would be a helluva get.

This. It wasn't Jang or the players we got in trades, it was players or nothing since the Sox don't work in Asia.

We'll see what happens, but he wouldn't be the 1st rookie to supernova.

The Sox should be in the business of trading 30something relievers for 18 year olds, and not the flip side.

The Sox not putting in work with their kids in the off season would explain a lot

So we are just turning kids loose in the off season? That doesn't make it better.

If we have reached the point where the debate has become about how to define obvious terms, the debate is effectively over.
