January 12, 20197 yr There is no way I would want Harper on this team for the full length of a 12 year contract. Neither would my 19 year old son who is seven right now.

The Astros are my constant example of how rebuilding works even when you make a ton of mistakes in the draft. Aiken, Mark Appel over Bryant, they had 3 straight #1 picks and have 1 player out of them. Astros also made some questionable trades (which is a reason why I want the Sox to trade with them). The Aiken mistake gave the Astros Bregman. They've had their misses, but a long list of successes and great development to more than compensate.

January 12, 20197 yr Just now, Jose Abreu said: Also outrighted JD Martinez At a certain point, you just stop giving guys chances due to having other talent coming up. Hes a late bloomer for sure.

January 12, 20197 yr Releasing JD Martinez was a mistake. I believe he tore up spring training that year, but I guess they didnt buy into his swing changes and they released him before the season started. We all know how that worked out.

I just don't agree with the notion that they're some perfect FO who don't make mistakes given how much good talent they've given away over the years. Not to mention all their ethical issues

January 12, 20197 yr I think JD was different for the reasons I stated above. He came into spring with a totally different swing that year and they simply overlooked it. Detroit jumped on him and he tore up AAA and didn’t stop once they called him up. He didn’t “figure it out” somewhere else. He figured it out while they still had him, and they still released him. Hindsight is 20/20 and they’ve done a great job overall, but that was a real mistake on their part to not notice and/or believe in the changes he made.

One guy compared Yonder and Jon Jay to the Sox signing Dick Allen's brother Hank. They laughed it off, Hank wasn't even a major league caliber guy, Yonder and Jay make the team better, very positive response.
January 12, 20197 yr 10 minutes ago, GreenSox said: Domingo Santana, Josh Hader, Adrian Houser and Brett Phillips for Mike Fiers and Carlos Gomez. No doubt, but that’s only one trade and I specially mentioned that one in my post. What other bad trades had he made?
January 12, 20197 yr Oh man, we are 29 min in. NotHahn is probably getting final agreed upon contract details as we speak... ???

January 12, 20197 yr NotHahn needs to fake a deuce and slip into the bathroom so he can post the goods.
