Your facts and reality are not welcomed, you dissenter. We must applaud the effort for trying even if the results never come. We must be happy if our Sox end up like the 20 years and running rebuilding bulls.

I don't think next year will be a get back to .500 season. They will spend money this off season and call up Robert and Madrigal in April. Not to mention our division will have the awful Royals and Tigers, the sliding Indians, and an unknown Twins team after their pending talent loss. Next season will most likely be a get back to 95 wins season.

5 to 6 year rebuild?

Garcia Moncada McCann Abreu Jimenez Anderson Jay Collins Rendon You just hope for 3 hits out of the bottom three and concede that they suck.

Not wasted, but I've given up on him. If he produces, that would be a great surprise. He then becomes tradeable to plug leaks on our roster.

Neither can you.

It's because these guys lack tools. No speed, no hit tool, no defense, etc. We bring them in as home run hitting lumber Jacks. Thise days need to be over and we need to be more diversified with our hitters.

Maybe, but you wouldn't have to. If James needs a break let him DH and Collins catch. If James gets hurt, move Collins to catcher and let some else DH on the roster.

I would say the backup is Collins. When McCann needs a break they switch.

Nope. I think Ricky likes his veteran presence.

Gut wrenching loss yesterday, but baseball is gonna baseball. Can't expect terrible starting pitchers to produce. It'd be awesome to win today.

The Bulls free agency aucks and parallels the Sox in terms of disappointment for fans. I wonder what the real connection is here.

Yep. We start our contention next year, which is why I don't want to make trades.

I wouldn't mind Hamels on a one or two year deal as a last option at the right price. He is still pretty good.

I am all for this plan to get a head start. But what are we willing to trade for a good pitcher?

Fair point. This team still needs to come together and win a tom of games. We are not out of the woods just yet. The FO also has a job to do.

Gonna suck when his average and OPS free falls.

Teams who compete year end and year out spend big bucks. It doesn't always work out, but they are mostly in the contention conversation. Those frugal spenders tend to be the one hit every 5 to 8 year wonders and playoff flameouts.

Let's not forget 7 positions are also set for us. So we shouldn't fill one spot with a great player but instead go cheap on both. In all seriousness, we can afford a good position player and a good pitcher this offseason. Then we can fill in the gaps.

No, we want the mediocre and bad players. Give us as many 10 million dollar and under bums as we can handle.

He may be bored and waiting on his call up.

But he is better than the group we have out there. He does have hot stretches and you just have to hope for a few to make the season a little more fun.

Roll with Jay when he is healthy. The position is a dead end right now, so see if he can get hot for a few months and call it a day.

When you play teams like the Cubs, Dodgers, Yankees, and BoSox, you must be prepared to have all the calls go against you.

Portland, aka rip city, is the move to make.
