I’ve always been big on the farm. The 1967 team was mostly farm raised. The 1975 team was mostly farm raised as was the 1978, and 1986 team. Even the 2018 team had plenty of farm raised on it, so I do get it, but is this current crop going to be anything like these that I mentioned? Lots is riding by some on here on this current crop, and while the rankings are all over the place depending on who’s doing the rankings doesn’t guarantee success just, because they are ranked higher than other teams. You still have to out, and get from the outside too, but that’s not easy either as SD, and the Mets have found out. Texas didn’t do so good last year going out, and spending big, but it’s paying off this year especially with the pitching.

I guess it depends on what you view as progress. The youth movement is here, which is fine, but how good are they going to be, and how much success will they have. Is the current crop going to be better than Mookie, Bogey, or Raffy? A better farm ranking is great, but all that means is it is ranked higher than before when it wasn’t so great. Sales contract will be gone after this year, which will help going forward, but if Casas, Duran, Raf Man, Abreu, and Mayer don’t all turn out to be good, or at least most of them the Red Sox will be as good as some people think.

That was quite the debate to sell, or not to sell.
-
Things looked promising coming off 2021 into the 2022 season especially after adding Story, but things went south.
-
The Mets have a GM opening too, which may be an option too.

I think it’s the prevalent view all over MLB, and has been for a couple of years now. JH, and Bloom have done a number to the Red Sox, and it’s not a good number at that.
-
I believe you are 100% correct when you say that the view out there in MLB is wide spread that the Red Sox are in some sort of disarray. It’s not that hard to see unless you don’t want to see it, and it is a lot more than my narrative, and pretty blind to see, and think other wise.
-
Sorry, but you’ve also edged him on.
-
Or maybe there just wasn’t that many, and these are definitely different situations where the comings, and goings are more frequent, and the recent restructuring of the holdovers are not that appealing.
-
What’s your excuse for not seeing it?🤭Or the Kike resigning where you said more than once that the Red Sox couldn’t have found anyone better than Kike for $10M. What’s your excuse on that one?
-
Right. Read it yourself. I was the poster who jumped to a conclusion the day Bloom got hired, and I was right in my conclusion. What’s so hard about that? Over analyzing, and wrong again.
-
Either way it’s a bad look that so many potential applicants are declining interviews for the job for the Red Sox.
-
The Brock Star is campaigning for the job give it to him.
-
I didn’t say anyone did. I said it was a bad hire the day he got hired, and I was 100% right. Saw it coming a mile away.
-
So? I’ve said that when he was hired.
-
If JH hadn’t played Johnny Low Ball with Lester than most likely Price doesn’t get signed at twice the price.
-
And you left out that the one poster who jumped to a conclusion the day Bloom was hired was 100% RIGHT. How convenient for you.🙈🤭🙈.
-
Where did Bloom’s analytical ways get you? Where did DD get you? Take out DD’s bad contracts to Price, and Frail.
-
Seems like the hang ups of the decliners are the turnovers of the job itself the past 10 yrs, or so, and the infrastructure of the front office now. Both understandable.
-
Falvey, Fuld, and Brandon Gomes are three more names who declined to interview for the Red Sox.

What a great site in Philly tonight. A packed raucous crowd while Fenway sits empty. At the very least another trip for Philly to the NLCS while the Red Sox sit in a basement, and watch, and hope that someday they will be in the postseason again. It’s only been two years, but it seems a lot longer than that thanks to JH, and Gloom, and Doom Bloom.
-
Really? Are you for real. Belittle is what you call it? What do you call all the comments on eye test, BA, and watered down just to mention a few when talking about baseball.
-
Casas was my guy, Kike was my guy, Duran was my guy, and last but not least Bloom was my guy.
-
I’ve actually liked some of your trade suggestions, but like I said just curious.
-
I didn’t want Casas benched. I wanted him back In Worcester. My guy should have been in green, but it was funny watching you pounce, and still do.
