I know it's hard to grasp that, but go ahead and be miserable. Haha, I'm one of the most optimistic people on this board. I defend Hahn to a fault sometimes. I was referring to the "lucked into" part of your post. They absolutely have a championship caliber team. But they didn't luck into it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a front office “lucked their way into building a championship caliber roster,” I’d be less inclined to have unwavering positive feelings towards them.

Put Conforto in there instead of Sheets and there is no way it not a top 3 lineup in baseball. Without Conforto, its probably more in the 4-6 range.

Quin Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I think some of y'all are at the point where you think KW and Hahn should be fired and the Sox should just blow up the current team and have a fire sale of absolutely everyone. Except Moncada and Eloy, they should just be cut because their flaws are so glaring that no one would trade anything for them. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) 10 minutes ago, YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! said: That lineup isn’t that good… Eh, you're losing it here. The lineup without two of those guys was top 5 in baseball last year. I think Vaughn takes a pretty nice step forward this year and they have a nice top 7. That should put them firmly in the top 6-7 lineups in the game with variance really only seperating them from the top 3. Toronto probably has the best lineup in baseball this year with the Stros close behind - especially if they sign Correa. After that, the Sox could finish anywhere from 3-8 assuming no catastrophic injuries or something. The problem with the Sox is they need an elite offense because of those top teams, they have by far the worst defense and it's not all that close. Edit; forgot about the Dodgers so they're in that top 3 group as well. Especially with Freeman.

almagest Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Sounds like the market is too hot for Manaea/Montas. Doubt the Sox have the pieces for either now. Wouldn't mind Meadows, either, especially if Kimbrel is in that deal, but Meadows isn't good defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
