Red Sox Pre-Offseason Mega Thread

Cold as Ice.

God I hate this team, or more precisely 'how it is run'.  Every f*cking year, the same thing, and see? it's already starting now:   "Who do we get rid of?"  The very notion that fans might get attached to certain players as HUMAN BEINGS (God forbid), and want to watch them over their careers?  Anathema!    So I've watched Betts and Bogey and JBJ and Devers and Benintendi and Sale and yes even Kiki and Bernardino -- some great, some ok, some not so good -- and now, there are more players I care about on other teams than on the RS.  And what now?  Oh yes:   here I'm hearing the same thing:  get rid of Abreu and Anthony and Yoshida and Duran and Gray and Contreras and who knows who else.  So just what human being am I supposed to care about?  John Henry? Some Yalie?  Breaking news:  I don't give a flying f*ck about a-hole billionaires and their lackeys.

Team full of mediocre offensive players will produce mediocre offense. I really don't become attached to players on a bad team. 

It's always can I envision this player on a world series team?

Crochet, yes

Tolle, yes

Chapman, yes

Suarez, yes

Whitlock, not a big fan, I just don't trust him in a must need situations

Abreu, yes

Rafaela, yes

Story, hell no

Anthony, not sure anymore

so on so on.....

We don't have enough pieces right now.

All our questions will be answered then!

It’s not like we even pioneered it here.
