this is why I laugh when people talk about possible trade acquisitions that the Sox could make to get the team over the hump, no trades will do that barring the A+ tier class guys who are good because they have innate talent
how many players (specifically position players) have to come here and then have career low performances before people start to realize that it's the way the Sox do things (prep, research/tech, scouting reports, training, etc) that causes guys to just fall flat on their face
some guys are gonna be good regardless like Abreu and NewTimmy but you also have to get the most out of your 750ish OPS guys and this team clearly doesn't know wtf they're doing with the B tier/2nd Class players
