I don't think that happens without something going wrong, personally. We see competitive teams graduate guys to the majors, make a ton of trades, never bottom out etc and never have their system at a point where it is for the Sox right now. If there wasn't some type of issue, it'd be possible to squint and see anyone besides Jose Rodriguez getting any top 100 consideration this winter. There are issues , it's just hard to pinpoint them because of our ignorance and the ignorance of anyone carrying water for them now also. Lots of things going on the last year or 2 in the minors. Lost a whole year, lost teams, lost whole leagues. We have no idea if guys were left to fend for themselves in the Covid year or if there was a plan for them to keep busy. Some organizations did a much better job than others in that regard. Then the Sox probably found out in late 2019 that Vizquel was a moron or worse. Best you can say is it didn't completely crater once Vaughn and Crochet were promoted but Vaughn and Crochet basically also had no time in the minors so we really didn't get to fawn over their development either. It took Vera half a season to get permission to start his career with the Sox. Some of the Int'l. guys are finally starting to perk up like Cespedes and Yolbert Sanchez. Give it another year to catch up. Edited August 23, 20214 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
