So I'm assuming they want someone athletic enough to play CF.

Checking the boxes - that's it?

Wont happen since he's not a slap hitter. Once an outside puts on the Sox uniform suck seems to over take them. Has so much BS in the offseason ever been this bad before the 24 hour sports networks? Who remembers Fukadome? Cubs curse Sox blessing

that's the clicker..........no one really knows so it's sources say Would a budget GM really do that on a guy you hope to get 100 games out of him?

I'm that way. Only Dodger fans get to have nice things. I'm not sure if there is a good solution but how many teams draft a pitcher who becomes successful knowing that they will have to do it again because they can't afford it.

how long will it be before we lose our excitement about prospects?

that is also part of scouting and they are bad at that

Why would the Sox ever break that tradition? Soon fans will be creaming for a bad pitcher to play 1B. They need to change baseball for Sox fans and put down 8 bases down RF line so they can all play. I'm not a fan of putting people who are weak at catching a baseball there.

even if those are mediocre they often become trade bait who works every 5th day Not many position players get the TJ virus that keeps them out for a long time. Somewhere there is logic and there's baseball logic and they contradict.

Those are the guys Getz likes

That makes you highly qualified to be the Sox GM

better scouting and development could avoid much of that it's the blueprint of s%*# organizations

There is parity but it's bad parity. I don't know how a cap would change this but I would detest the Tigers more than the Dodgers for doing this. Fans can't have things unless you are on both coasts. I for one will never believe in a statement that attendance is up in MLB. I've heard more than once, never trade with the Dodgers. This is not good for the game.

Only because they knew he wouldn't sign with them otherwise this could be filed under fake news

turning strengths back into weaknesses usually the cause is some injury I have no idea what is a good return these days

prospect humpers rejoice

Sometimes I do get why Reinsdorf doesn't want to spend

on the flip side they are like congressmen inflating the price for mediocre and below pitching.

this..........it could be a Grandal/Collins scenario.....

that's the price of not that good in the economics of baseball working every 5th day Cease hasn't been good in the post season

it's called the never ending cheap ass way of habitual losing.......reserved for baseball you can get away with it with great scouting and development and have great seasons but flat post seasons and be like the Brewers or not so long ago Rays......they are just superior farm systems for large markets as well

That's because of the price of admission

These discussions are like a 400lb lady looking at a Victoria Secrets catalog - so far removed from reality

No. Tucker seems to have health issues and they would only get worse here. Let's continue to ignore that no big free agent would ever consider coming here.

I content with the Sox not really doing anything. It seems like a wise move.
