no.

Veeck was awful.

I'm thinking that our 2023 draft position will be better than our current slot.

They traded a top prospect shortstop (Swanson) for an over the hill pitcher who was really bad.

Get ready to be called a racist by the mods.

Tf anyone here thinks Tony is smart, just check out his record as GM of the Dbacks.

Anderson needs to spend some time in front of a mirror.

At least, Eloy looked good on his swing for a change. Kept his head down.

They have a 14 man pitching staff. 14.

Brooks Robinson was great. Mike Schmitt was great. Clete Boyer was great. Nolan Arenado is great. Robin Ventura was pretty good. Sammy Esposito was decent. `Cmon, man.

If they gave Rodon a qualifying offer, he probably would have turned it down. We missed a draft pick.

He's the same guy who later pitched 7 innings of perfection, only to be pulled. Mentioned in another thread here.

Doubt it.

It was stupid to pull Kershaw. He wasn't gonna hurt himself on the 81st pitch. Just another case of analytics prevailing over baseball sense. Too bad Kershaw didn't have the balls to tell it like it is. I was watching PTI yesterday, and they reported on a Japanese pitcher who was pulled after 102 pitches with a perfecto brewing, one game after he pitched a real perfect game. IOW, two in a row was looming.

Excessive analytics is a disease.

Ramos' trade value could be a separate thread, but I wonder what Sox could get for him, not that I am recommending his trade.

Bullpen is not destroyed just because Severino gets a day off.

Severino proves that a 14 man pitching staff is unnecessary. If they are there, you have to use them. This is what happens.

Harrison has that stupid bat waggle that Gary Sheffield had. Gary got away with it. Harrison looks like a dope.

Severino is on Sox' Mt. Rushmore for lousy pitchers. Another tribute to Hahn.

Abreu saved about 2 dozen throwing errors by Moncada last year.

Yep, looks like he real deal.

Who is on the SoxTalk Mt. Rushmore?

They should play the old rant from Coach Herm Edwards. "You play to win the game."

I'm convinced. Good post.
