And extensions? That looks like it may have been worse than Benentendi. Not given him one seems pretty smart now. I used to just love this guy, but he really just needs to shut up at this point and look in the mirror. The team he is on now isn't doing very well either.

Texsox Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 While not having the right guys, there was also having some wrong guys. At least he takes the responsibility of multiple families seriously and wanted to lock in that paycheck to pay for them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We understood that, and it's hard to win when you don't have the right guys to go out and compete – you know what I mean? And you want to win," Anderson said. "The last year that I spent there was tough, and you know, to finally be able to make it through again on the other side, you know, I'm happy, in a great place, you know, my smile's back – and I'm back on my dream." Miami manager Skip Schumaker said everything he was told about Anderson has been “spot on.” “There’s people that you trust in the baseball world, and they were exactly right on his work ethic, how he impacts his teammates,” Schumaker said. “He’s been out for early work. He’s been on an early bus. He’s been the first guy in the clubhouse at home. ... It’s been great.” Edited April 19 by caulfield12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather OPS under .600, collect my paycheck, and cheat on my wife with Instagram hoochies.” His OPS from 2019 to 2022 was .820. So that doesn't really work for "year-to-year," just one singular year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"And it’s hard to win when you don't have the right guys to go out and compete ... and that want to win it." Anderson did not elaborate on what off-the-field decisions he was referencing. During an interview on "The Pivot Podcast" last year, he acknowledged having a child out of wedlock and going through therapy with his wife, Bria. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2896475 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some great moments with the Sox - the Field of Dreams game was heroic. But yeah, getting knocked out, carried to the dugout by Andrew Vaughn and then struggling to come out for round 2 on wobbly legs is hard to forget.

The faster we can distance ourselves from that era, the better. Except Andrew Vaughn and Benintendi as a duo are 5-6X worse that trio and the Sox are still stuck with one of them for at least 3 more seasons. Burger Anderson and Garcia are ultra cheap to their respective teams, at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure his wife didn’t want him to knock up another woman, so who is he referring to other than himself? 🤣 It should be “I”, not “we”. What a weak statement. He still can’t own up to his own decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
