No. Its the obscene amount of injuries the sox are currently managing. Being 500 at this point is commendable I agree. My frustration is Henry seems fine with 500 without injuries and six bridge years. Im sure sox fans would be really happy with Montgomery on the sox given how he is pitching. And besides, our rotation is the least of our issues (and that’s saying something given the injuries to our rotation). There is not enough depth in the world for the amount of position players we have out at once.

Big magnet dragging us back to .500 again? Weird game. Sox batters lots of Ks again. The big magnet is Henry's wallet. Temper your expectations fellow fan. No. Its the obscene amount of injuries the sox are currently managing. Being 500 at this point is commendable

And few or any thought the rotation without Yamamoto, Montgomery, Giolito, Whitlock would be among baseball’s best. Or that an OF of Duran, Rafaella, Abreu, O’Neill, Ref would also be among baseball’s best. Or that playing games with 14 guys on the IL and 5-6 rookies at the same time could possibly still be above .500 and a wild card in reach. Impressive I’m not rejecting the premise, but it might be early to say people were wrong to call for Montgomery. Whitlock is done for the year. Crawford might be coming back to earth. Bello has been mildly disappointing. The fact that they *are* decent might suggest the boost would have been great. As for the OF, it has definitely exceeded most of our wildest dreams, but maybe O’Neil was a bigger acquisition than expected? That is… maybe that *was* a big move? He had shown signs of being a really good player. It was hardly a dumpster dive. Abreu is the player who has most surprised me. I thought he was ok, a fourth OF type. Instead, he’s more like a higher tier OF. If the Sox still had Verdugo, I’m not sure I’d play him ahead of the guys they have. I think the thing is (and this season so far has shown) is that pitchers are a ticking timebomb.... It does not matter if you are considered a workhorse (as is the case with Giolito).... Spending large $$$$$$$$$ on pitching is like playing Russian roulette.... Yes, younger pitchers are getting injured too, but at least if they do get injured they do not screw the team financially in the way that high $$$ FA SP do... (HI Snell)

If there a more lopsided matchup in any sport (that is worse than the twins continued ineptitude vs the yankees) i would love to hear about it. Because I don’t believe one exists

The Montreal Expos had a Minor League Affiliate called the James Town (NY) Expos. They also had a mascot named Yippee shown below

Dalbec in RF is something... That lineup card is hard to look at. Not much one can do when our current IL could field its own team….. or make it own M*A*S*H episode

This is not about making sense. That's not how the media in 2024 works. It's about corralling eyeballs, including those that are bloodshot red with anger. Harvest those clicks, baby... Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave

I'd like to acquire a pony (and a place to put that pony) but I don't see what that has to do with the national rankings of the current group of prospects. Seriously, there are numerous places to discuss the team's roster balance or the team building strategy, please keep this thread focused on how the publications are ranking guys and Spencer Jones hateration. Just want to step in before this one gets off the rails. Thank you.
