I can't believe they broke Cla Meredith by letting him give up that grand slam and then having him go back on the mound the following day. THEY RUINED HIS CAREER!!!!
This is not an argument a sane individual would make.
Porcello worked out this year. Beckett was our ace for a few years.
The only guy I can think of that was brought in to be an ace that didn't work out was Price and he still has a chance to redeem himself. The only other big acquisition was Lackey and he really was only expected to be a #3.
I still can't figure out for the life of me why anyone would give two shits about Cla Meredith at this point. He was barely a prospect. The fact that he didn't become a bullpen ace in the majors shouldn't even register as a blip on our radar.

If you listen to Speier on the latest Soxprospects podcast, scouts aren't as high on Moncada as they once were. Maybe they should move him before he falls off further?
