December 12, 20223 yr Just now, Dick Allen said: Moncada was the #1 or #2 prospect in baseball and people are butt hurt? HIndsight is a helluva drug.

Also they said they would have allowed Devers to be the 1st or 2nd piece, so it isn't like the blocked him from being traded. Well Devers never got traded cause Boston knew what they had. Moncada was all style and no subtance. Keep being a Hahn stan if you want though. It's been working real great the last 6 years.

And even with years of hindsight he said nothing like what you are claiming. But go ahead and move the goalposts.

I showed a path on how that could work. Crazy things happen in baseball all the time. How many "experts" had the Sox winning it all in 05? You seem content with the results of the tank job which is fine I suppose. Most of the hardcore tankies I talked to said the Sox were on the path to be juggernauts like the Cubs and Houston. The Cubs were never a juggernaut.

December 12, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, LittleHurtCG said: Sure. However, it is now six years later and the same front office that made the Sale trade is still around. There wer also warning signs with Moncada ( striking out like 70% of the time in his first cup of coffee and reports of terrible nutrition habits ( eating a box of twinkies a day). There is a reason why Boston was willing to trade Moncada and didn't declare him untouchable. the reason was they got one of the top 3 starting pitchers over the previous 5 years.

The reason they traded him was Chris Sale on a team friendly deal. The gut has a 5.5 and 4.0 WAR seasons. You are making it out like he can't play at all.
