Absolutely Baggs. The blame starts with him and trickles down.
I'm getting sick and tired of Sox fans saying he put all the pieces in place too. That's BS. Where's our CF for one? We are extremely weak up the middle with Jimenez. While his stick has been a pleasant surprise, his lack of range and inability to get down on groundballs while moving has been obvious. I just don't know anymore. Something need to be done..... but won't.
Wasnt it Sox fans saying that we shouldnt trade Rowand because hed certainly be a star soon? Well, I guess KW listened. And again, another player we thought we could count on who we really couldnt. Its not his fault that formerly decent players suck when they come to the southside...
I wasn't one of those people. And Rowand starting in CF had nothing to do with KW listening to the fans. It had everything to do with $$$$$ and JR's penny-pinching.
