Everything changed after 2016. This ownership group also hasn't done themselves any favors with the fan base.

That's one funny way of saying, I didn't get my way, so I am taking my ball and going home.

It depends on what you mean by "plan". Yes all teams trying to maximize the level of talent and depth they have in a system. No, there will never be a team who is 2-3 players deep in starting level talent on a roster. Between the limitations of a 26 and a 40 man roster, it is impossible to keep this depth of talent. Once you get past your starters you WILL see a significant fall off in talent. Once your back ups get hurt you WILL see another significant fall off in talent to your #3 depth guys. Yes, everyone wanted the Sox to add more players in this off season, but realize at one point the Sox started their #7, #8, and #9 OFs on their depth chart. Literally no organization in professional sports will have good player at that depth.

Actually that leaves out Adam Engel who was also hurt during that time period, as well as Leury Garcia who played a ton during that stretch.

Good lord, that is some solid revisionist history right there.

What? Seriously? Kenny was the problem there? Not Ozzie demanding an extension with a year to go on his deal and then ditching the team with a few games left in the season?

So they did issue this tweet AFTER the 4-6 week tweet, I just don't think they ever actually followed up with the next one about the new timetable.

All three of which may not be on the playoff roster

Also we are talking about 46 ABS here.

The fact that people are drilling down to specific samples of situations to find warts tells me the kid has had a great 1st season, especially considering his entire minor league career consists of 245 PAs, and nothing higher than A+. A month ago he was never going to be able to hit RHP.

Tony seems like more of a ranch guy.

Pre-season obviously.

Yet measurably MUCH worse in LF.

You got Eloy in LF, this is what you get.

He did, and good for him. Him going aggressively after that doesn't end well.

At this stage, I wonder if Zavala gets the send down for a few days. You lose him for like 5 days, but you also save Collins option in case you need it down the road. Might also save him some trade value.

Thanks Stan.
