In Guff's defense, he'll at least call out bad moves and questionable decisions.

Man, this thread has some taeks.

I've seen him in the Scout Seats scrolling through Twitter before, but I believe he's mentioned it before as well.

Ughhhh, classic.

As SonofaRoache pointed out, James' second half reverted back to his career numbers, and it made sense to let it play out and see if his production was an aberration or not. Signing Grandal sealed his fate, but James played well in limited opportunities last season. Hopefully he's able to keep it up moving forward, but it would've been somewhat foolish at the time to over commit to someone who, for most of their career up until that point, had been bad. I would've loved if he would've returned, but it just wasn't going to happen and it was obvious. The Sox have/had other holes to fill, and prioritizing paying a backup catcher really wasn't one of those.

He wanted to start and is going to get paid as such, neither of which was going to happen here. Hahn didn't "blow it" as much as James played himself out of here, and good for James.
