February 22, 20197 yr Even though Santana is only a year removed from a decent season, I can't help to think that the Sox FO loves getting older, washed up veterans. Imagine all these guys in their primes: C- Sandy Alomar Jr. 1B- Adam Dunn or Justin Morneau 2B- Roberto Alomar SS- Jimmy Rollins 3B- Todd Frazier LF- Manny Ramirez CF- Ken Griffey Jr. RF- Jose Canseco SP- Ervin Santana Bench- Melky Cabrera Bench-Kevin Youkilis Bench: Kenny Lofton Feel free to add more. These are just the names off the top of my head. Edited February 22, 20197 yr by Peacock Wrestler

February 22, 20197 yr Remember when they concluded Mark Kotsay was a better option than Jim Thome? That was awesome.

February 22, 20197 yr In 10 years: Manny Machado Edit: sorry, I just had to Edited February 22, 20197 yr by soxfan2014
February 22, 20197 yr Hard for me to say this because of his playoff heroics, but... Orlando Hernandez?

February 22, 20197 yr Guys, Adam Dunn made an All-Star team while here. I know it's easy to forget, but like, come on. And Frazier was just fine. Half of this list is just to moan about recent acquisitions.

Half of this list is just to moan about recent acquisitions. He was awful in 2011, but from that point on, Dunn's performance was pretty much in line with what he was being paid to do.

Half of this list is just to moan about recent acquisitions. Dunn's highest BA here was .219. His second best was .204 Even thought he's not known for his average, those numbers are horrid. Frazier batted .225 and .213 with the Sox. Again, Power numbers are up but those averages are a disaster

February 22, 20197 yr Author Just now, Tony said: The BA’s might have been low, but Q is right, you yourself created this topic and titled it “The all washed up Team” I wouldn’t put Dunn and Frazier on that list with the Sox. They wern’t “Washed up” like we saw guys like Rollins, Youk, Manny, etc. Those guys really were on their last legs I can see the argument for Frazier, but not Dunn. You can't go from batting around .250 for most of your career then bat .220 for the rest of your career without regressing.

He was probably never good enough to be considered washed up. Edited February 22, 20197 yr by turnin' two
