I just see anything positive happening as long as the Sox have the same owner. These handful of prospects just aren't going to help that much since it is only a handful. They will never supplement then with decent free agents. Sure they'll get FA that will be busts. JR is a curse to this organization and you really can't get past that. If there was a baseball hell this would be it. Unfortunately there are a few more teams not much different. They are a curse to baseball. Players and potential execs have this figured out.

TLR has been to some farm games. That's the only thing I can think of when everything seems like WTF.

Edited for accuracy.

I don't know. Jerry has a way of ruining things.

Wasn't he part of that Cease trade?

I think there are no more DFAs for them to check out other than TA.

or a qualified GM says no way ever.......

Maybe they trade Elko for an Eder type. Strange things happen.

I guess we were deluded because they didn't get totally pasted by the Mets.

Bad luck is filtering down to the minors. Slim chance of that happening Must be a short backstop there as well.

LOL just watch they bring back only Vaughn

I keep forgetting to watch them to see if they are that good.

Imagine if the Sox were in the NL West.......or the NL

The Elko thing is a mystery. I get it if they told him they were going to bring him up only for a few weeks. So now they messed with a player giving a small sample size. What kind of message does that send to minor league players? People will come up with all sorts of reasons but this organization still proves they are clueless in handling things. They only fix is new ownership and one that will gut the organization as much as possible but not bring in people who have the potential to be worse. Like........uh no Getz promotions and tell Tony to go take a nap. Hasn't Tony been an advisor before in other organizations and they not improved? Fans now believe in small sample sizes to pronounce failure but also have the meaningless stats on potential players who still don't have it together after a few years. Was Elko a savior? No, but I wonder how many other players lose a chance with 30 at bats? There's even all star players who went through slumps. Clueless. I don't know how a fan can have any faith in the organization at all. They are like the other losing teams that will be constantly rebuilding by getting rid of good players because they wont win with those players. Shouldn't this have worked with the Pirates or Marlins by now?

A false faith without a crystal ball

It's been that way long before the current group. They even draft them that way,

The problem is he is still there.

He really doesn't want to be traded.

Grifol made it worse. Before managing a game he point out problems from his other 100 loss team from the dugout. He was a kiss ass and that's what appealed to Jerry. People forget Getz also push for him. Getz has the bad Royal envy and so far it is working. You don't get better getting people from losing organizations.

A real manager would bench him. That just looks stupid and worse on a last place team. I assume the ump didn't make the call either.

I often wonder if it would be different if Hinch was the manager. It just seems the TLR/Grifol era was toxic.

Yet Elko was given a small sample size. It's hard for Baldwin to make an out. I tend to believe these ??? decisions are from TLR. You know they manager who intentionally walked hitters with a 1-2 count twice.

the (insert player) was DFA'd should the Sox take a chance? it happens in every sport with fans of bad teams The Sox are not the change of scenery cure either

batting 9th wouldn't be the end of the world isn't that where they put fast guys that can't hit

Nope that's Laurence Holmes need a tissue? Stop the butt hurt and put me on ignore.
