Mookie falls into the category of a once in a generation talent. The Red Sox had 3or 4 others — Ruth, Williams, Yaz, Rice. When you let a guy like that go instead of building around him, it is momentous mistake.
While Brett was never a star, he had a 14 year MLB career and was an excellent hitting pitcher. Garman was in the bigs for 9 years. Ball is the standard for failure for Red Sox picks higher than #10.
Limit access to electronics and give the kid a pensy pinky or spaldeen and teach them some games that can be played in a driveway or alley. Pitch to your kids. Kids love to hit the ball long before they understand the game.

Why are you so intent on Schoop when we have plenty of options to mix and match with Kike? How much do you want to invest in 2B for 2 part time players? I think there are other needs that have to be addressed.
It was a straight out salary dump so Alderson can put the full court press on to get Bauer. I know a lot of people get moist over prospects, but I wouldn’t be waiting to buy the rookie cards of any of these prospects.
My remark wasn’t limited to starting pitching. The Jays have also added Springer and Semien and Yates and Chatwood. The Jays lineup will club our pitchers like baby seals.
Ben knows Jack s*** about pitching. His record with pitching is awful. But keep making excuses for a GM who has perfected last place finishes.
When did Aaron Judge go that draft? That was a good pick. He also passed on Austin Meadows and Tim Anderson.
