But this time it will really work!

You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means.

Yep, it goes back to the you can build a successful baseball franchise a lot of ways, but if you aren't drafting and developing, they will all quickly fall apart, which is what we keep seeing here. They are also willing to give their young players a lot of run to see what they have, while we block ours with guys like Moldy and Nicky.

Apparently he had a bad start

Can you see Jerry winning a bidding war for a manager? Yeah, that.

Getz signing mediocre vets to block the kids? Never.

That would be an improvement over this year with all of these guys

If I had to go based on the era from biggest to smallest out of the key players, my personal top 10. 1. Kopech 2. ILoy 3. Yoan 4. Madrigal 5. ReyLo 6. Avi 7. Vaughn 8. Robert 9. TA 10. Rodon

I think the answer is Yes.

Turns out I am very optimistic.

And this is exactly why many Sox fans Don't see this as a playoff team for a really long time.

So your comparison of Os to Sox was fine, but coming after yours, his was out of line... lol. And also for the record the Sox are still burying any hitting prospects in a historically awful season. Give me the Orioles struggles over this dumpster fire of a situation any day.

To be fair he doubled the hiring pool. It used to be ex-Sox. Getz added ex-Royals to that pool.

We are 37 games under .500. We need to creep through .300, then creep through .400, before we creep through. 500. Let's be honest here, the next time we even think about .500 is when we are 0-0 to start 2025.

Another 80 games, give or take, will take care of that.

Nah, we've been way lower than this
