I agree with this, but I also think you need to start thinking some of the players you thought so highly of in March just aren't as good as you thought.
You also wrote off a lot of Sox players that maybe didn't deserve your evaluations. I'm not saying nobody exceeded expectations, but plenty did not or did about what was expected. You may have also underestimated how much good managing affects the W-L record.
I'll be watching how you evaluate next year's teams, after some winter changes made to both teams.
Will you views on Eovaldi, Sale and others improve?
