Yep. I remember having high hopes for that team but Samardzija was a total bust and looking back it is amazing how terrible the supporting case was in terms of the position players on that team.

2015 wasn't really a competitive year. But yes, KW likely looks at that team and tries to add for 2016 like he had a few times before. 2020 is the brutal one. Hahn is also lucky that was only a 60 game season because if that season is 162 games the Sox don't make the playoffs that year with the total lack of pitching depth and he would be looking at 1 playoff berth in 11 years of being a GM.

Maybe. Or maybe he continues to struggle and plummets. There have been tons of guys over the years that looked like first round picks the year before their draft but had their stock tank and ended up nowhere near the first round. He’s a great 7th round and worth the gamble though.

There is literally nothing more meaningless than these types of statements after a draft. Every team makes them in every sport.

How signable is he? Seems like the type of guy that Sox won’t be able to develop at all but for a 7th round pick obviously the potential is insane.

Injured and in this case major questions if he can be a starter even without the Tommy John

Hahahahahahahahgahahahahahaha

Yep. And against a pitcher who had shown zero command at all the entire inning

Yep. I thought it clearly hit him and I also doubt Walker is a good enough actor to immediately react the way he did if it didn’t hit him.

Nolan Gorman single handedly won the Sox game 1 and if Sox win it’s because of Gorman today.

Nolan Gorman with an atrocious approach in this at bat

Another run due to Cardinals defense. The Cardinals are the dumbest and laziest team the Sox have played this year. Oakland and Kansas City are worse and less talented but holy crap this Cardinals team is an absolute joke.

The Sox would have 2 runs this series against an absolutely atrocious Cardinals pitching staff if the Cardinals could make routine defensive plays.

And lol at Marmol even bringing in Cabrera. Cabrera is a horrendous reliever and he was never going to face a left handed hitter

Nolan Gorman has to have money on the Sox this series

These teams are fucking terrible

No one on either of these teams wants to be out there

If you don’t ever rest him at some point he won’t be available for an extended period for the fans.

Are the Cardinals trying to lose on purpose?

7 of the 9 Sox runs this inning are directly attributable to the Cardinals defense

The Cardinals are so so bad

So are the Pirates really passing on Skenes and Crews and maybe even Langford too? That seems insane and really dumb to me even if you get massive savings on Clark.

With this regime in place that is meaningless. Even if that pick hits they won’t find enough talent through trades, free agency, draft etc to build a complete roster.

They’ve been worse than the Sox tonight. Most of the Sox runs are basically just the Cardinals screwing up.

Does Nolan Gorman have money on the Sox tonight?
