It was $50M short of being fair. What are you not understanding about that?
You missed the part about the family reunion.

Thus far this season, Alonso has 3 walks in 3 games. If he keeps it up, he could set a new team record for the most walks in a season and by so doing provide the high OBP player that the Sox have needed ever since Frank Thomas left the team.

A fair offer? They offered about 17% less than the Padres to the tune of 50 million dollars
The Sox offered Machado both big money and a family reunion. What's unfair about that?

Eloy batting just .200 Great use of the team's money, Hahn.

Good news: Engel in, Palka out.
-
Lucas out. Let's see if the bullpen can nail this one down.
-
If McCann can stick to the approach that he showed in his last AB, then he might prove to be a worthy member of the team.
-
Of course, Palka swung on the first pitch like a drunken retard.

Allonso with his 2nd walk this season. He might have the best approach to the plate of anyone on the team this year.
-
Thus far this game McCann is KC's best player.

Quality of at bats against starting pitching has been predictably terrible. Time to give Steverson a lifetime contract.
Why stop there? Why not get a hold of our nation's scientific leadership and do what's needed to clone him so future generations of Sox fans can experience the wonderful hitting that we're all seeing right now?
-
How long will it take for Palka to get a hit?

I was expecting 17-0, not 0-0, by the tone in here, lol.
You do have a sense of humor after all.

Eloy starts the game off 0-1. Hahn should be so proud of him.

The dreaded leadoff walk.

So going into the offseason I would have said the plan was to continue to trade and sign stop gaps who could be moved for prospects down the road because imo this roster isn't anywhere close to making the playoffs let alone winning a championship.
However, the FO went hard after Machado and somehwat hard after Harper. So what is the plan moving forward? Are we operating on a shoterned timeline? Are we going to see the FO trade prospects for players and be active in next years FA.
Or are we going to continue to rebuild by trading our remaining assets like Rondon and Sanchez. Or are we going to not make any major moves at all. I thought I knew the plan now I have no idea does anyone who listens to radio tell me what Hahn has been saying?
What you are advocating is an awful lot like what the Sox did following the 2004 season when they focused on picking up quality players regardless of how obscure they were. The end result was winning the World Series. However, for some strange reason, they dropped that approach and instead tried to get big name players like Adam Dunn and James Shields to say nothing of Harper & Machado.
One wonders just why the Sox have refused to return to the route that led to the World championship.

If Davidson
2 minutes ago, soxfan2014 said:Yeah. How the fuck can the Rangers just release him from a non-guarnateed, minor league deal in which he k'd 16 times in 52 PAs with a .205 AVG in spring training? Morons! Oh well, their loss.
If Davidson has indeed been released by the Rangers, now is the time for Hahn to sign him up to a minor league contract so he can be assigned to a bullpen and we can all see just how good or bad a pitcher he can be.
-
The thing is though that the Rangers did not allow him a chance to pitch and give him a fair shot.

The Sox have half a dozen Davidson types already hanging around the periphery. I might have been OK with him in a platoon role but reality is he's a 1 WAR type that is a dime a dozen.
How many of them can pitch?

It wasn't missing out on Machado? You're a moron
The Sox made Machado a fair offer and it was ignored, so that's not a blunder by Hahn.

2008. Under Ventura, the Sox got sloppy and have stayed consistently bad.

In my opinion, the single worst blunder by Rick Hahn during the offseason was getting rid of Matt Davidson. To be clear, the reason for this is not Davidson's hitting such as his 20 HR's last season, but instead his pitching.
If you click n the above link to Baseball Reference and scroll down to "Standard Pitching," you will find the following:
Davidson pitched 3 innings in 3 games giving up zero hits and only 1 walk. You would think that given all the team's bullpen problems last year, that Hahn would have decided to go about making Davidson a true utility player who could both pitch and hit for the team. Instead of having Davidson pitch 3 innings a season, Hahn could have tried it make it at least an inning a week if not more. It was pitching that should have given Davidson the edge over Palka in determining just who gets to stay on with the team.
Instead, Hahn opted to drop Davidson while keeping the likes of Palka and Nate Jones on the team and now we are paying the price for that poorly thought out decision.

Team MVP thus far this season: Alonso.
If the team can both dump Palka and bring back Davidson as a bullpen member/pinch hitter, then the team will be on the right track.
