greg775 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Nancy Faust plays na na on his home run trot. My gosh what a day. The Sox are back. If Beni was healthy the lineup at least would be way more potent than before. Elko and Nancy Faust. Wow. And the Pope.

Obviously not getting the same level of guys, but Sox did just come through their system. Had to be a few lower tier guys they liked outside of Wikelman.

Dang it we're never going to contend again if we keep playing the trade game. Saddens me more than maddens me. ... Can't we just enjoy a hot streak of Vaughn, the emergence of Elko and Meidroth and Quero and the Pope? Edited May 12 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You trade him for something for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL let's go extreme on those examples, like that's suppose to make Sox fans feel better. Might as well be excited with Birmingham as well.

The only way they seem to be able to get real talent is from other teams (maybe Elko and the starters will break the spell). Frankly, they should see what they can get for Shane Smith. Probably not enough. But if some team offered a Crochet-like package.... Edited May 12 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith has less value than we think, because he only pitched 94 innings and will eventually be looking at similar restrictions as Crochet faced the final two months in 2024...at least if he maintains his current IP/start pace into the summer months. Mostly joking but at least 25-33% serious/resigned to moves like this to sell off players for cash. Edited May 12 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, and I am not a Royals fan as evidenced by my attending 2 games total the past four seasons, but why do they win once in a while the old fashioned way? Ditto Detroit for gosh sakes and Minnie. All tiny markets. You can't tell me we're THAT poor we can't compete with those woebegone franchises. And yes, Lip, I realize Jerry won't open the wallet. But cmon even you Lip must be furious that we have to trade anybody with a pulse in hopes we land somebody with a stellar heartbeat who can help us win it all in about a 3 year window before they must be traded. This ain't the way to run any business. Edited May 12 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
