you keep calling the budget "imaginary". its obviously real. JH has proven it to be real 2x in the past 6 years. how many more times does he need to proved to you that the Red Sox have a real budget?
i just dont get how people still dont realize the Red Sox have a budget. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
lol. i just saw the post and was about to type my mea culpa on that. seems the players are smarter then i give them credit for. they waited until it became "official". btw - did you see Mookies response to JBj's post? still think there is no chance he will sign back with the Sox next offseason???!!!!
yes, we should. but again i believe that we were caught doing something in 2018. if that turns out to be unfounded i will certainly admit i was wrong to have already laid judgement on the current coaching staff...
he was an offensive stat compiler pure and simple. he slapped the ball to right field. if he played anywhere but YS he would have been out of baseball in 3 years. an average player at best that benefited from George's overspending and the miami clinics. some legends are written by ability. jeters wasnt.
One at-bat after hitting a home run during a 1974 game against the Detroit Tigers, the Yankees’ Graig Nettles broke his bat … and six little superballs came bouncing out.
also....it is a bit premature to grant Xander a spot in the HoF but DerekJackson might be right about Xander being a HoFer. maybe Xander is already a first ballot HoFer? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
hopefully some day Xander can:
refuse to move off his position when the Sox acquire the GOAT ss to ever play
whine like a baby to the press to force the GM to overpay him in the twilight years
force the team to wear r2pect patch on their hats/jerseys
act like a baby dik
here's hoping!
but how is that a double standard?
HoF has zero to do with untouchable building block. its a stupid comparison.
plus your first post was simply not true. xander was not the worst ranked fielder in all of baseball and he was not the worst ranked SS in all of baseball. but that also has zero to do with stating the fact the derek jeter does not deserve to be a HOFer.
