Eloy, Kopech and Moncada are all going to have  real good 2024 seasons. This should help lead the team into playoff contention.

I like your optimism but at this point a .500 season would be fantastic.

You've mentioned  recently that you expect a good year from Benedenti. If he  bounces back with good years from Moncada, Eloy and Kopech this team could be good. The bullpen scares me but lets see how that plays out.

Where’s that fluff .gif when I need it…

You only get on these lists by being terrible the previous year.  ?

If this list is headlined by Lance Lynn of all people, you know it is not to be taken seriously…

The guy I still worry about is Kopech, he has the arm but is otherwise a mess.

I still don’t understand the hate for Vaughn from many here, last year was his first full year playing at first base, basically he’s still a kid and I think he will improve quite a bit in the coming years plus he has a good attitude.

Any contributions from Eloy and Kopech would be a big bonus. It is not something I expect.

Let me have what he's drinking...I want to get loaded too!

Kopech getting back on track is key to this season and to the future (when we inevitably trade him).

It's generalized hate for all things Sox the last two disappointing seasons. 

While it is laughable, the division sucks so bad that below .500 could win it.

How much service time does he have left?

Deuce.

Hopefully Bannister can fix him and then we can move him at the deadline for a good return. 

They have alot of SP with issues and if he can fix even a few of them, we will reap a huge prospect benefit in trades.

Bannister is prolly the most important person in this rebuild/retool.

I have a lot more faith in Moncada and Eloy than Kopech, which is sad. It's not exactly like I have a lot of faith in those 2.

If you always expect the worst there will be only a few surprises as a Sox fan.

History says if you are a Sox fan, "Hope for the best but expect the worst..."
