This year is them just retreating into the fetal position as everyone waits for everyone else in the org to end it or voluntarily leave. I think we need a satirist cartoonist to depict the Sox or Hahn in the fetal position in the womb sucking their thumb with a thought bubble that says "It's real cozy in here."

November 16, 20223 yr Dealing with the Rays' Rule 5 guys won't help organizational depth. If they could get a major league pitcher or OF out of it (worthy of the non-Rule 5 prospect they will have to send in return), then fine. That would require the Sox org. actually having knowledge of the Rays' system, which is a dubious assumption. The Sox certainly don't have a Rule 5 crunch. There are at least 5 guys on there who you would never keep if it meant exposing a real prospect, including a couple that probably shouldn't be on there at all regardless of the circumstances. There are also 9 infielders on the roster; 11 if you include Sheets and Vaughn. There are also 6 only OFs, only 2 of which can actually play OF (Engel and Robert); Eloy is a DH, Sheets and Vaughn are infielders and the 6th is an org. guy. Edited November 16, 20223 yr by GreenSox
