Thornburg was decent at the time, but sucked for the Sox.
-
When was the farm drained for nonsense? Sale? Kimbrel?
-
My position is that Bloom is not as good as you make him out to be, and the most important aspect the WL record of the ML club has suffered, because of it, and, because of Bloom, and you can’t stand that I have that opinion. Botching, looking for that 3rd option in the fork in the road are just two of his standard operating procedures, and that try, and try again you can not overcome no matter how many columns you write that repeats itself over, and over again.
-
A Bloom Bust it is.
-
Not as full of suspects as it used to be. The not so great Jeter Downs is gone.
-
Wanted to no, because I don’t like those long 10 yr $300M+ contracts, but having to yes if you want to keep a superstar talent bad enough. Best answer for what it is would be all I got.
-
Last year was weird. It can’t be worse than last year can it? Story being injured was not a good sign of things to come though.
-
Once again we’ve heard this same speech 978 times, and once again I’ll give a rebuttal that Mookie should still be in a Red Sox uniform, and at the very least the Red Sox should have been building around Mookie, and Raffy, and not just Raffy. None of the suspects in the farm system most likely won’t turn out to be anywhere near a talent as Mookie.
-
Stating a most likely scenario that not all minor league players are prospects let alone ending up in the ML as a productive player. To bad for you that you don’t like that opinion, but that’s the way I see it.
-
But most importantly is the ML club?
-
Not as much as some would like.
-
Most are just SUSPECTS!
-
Exactly. Prospect, or suspect only matters if they produce in a Red Sox uniform, or is traded for someone who does. I think I’ve heard that somewhere before.
-
And once again ranked last in the Div, and 1 spot below DD Phillies.
-
From you? YES! From the Boo Birds. NO!
-
With all the boos that Bloom got talking about his bet I don’t think many fans were buying what Bloom, and JH were cooking up.
-
Bloom gets blamed, because he’s supposedly the guy in charge, and is on his 4th year now. He gets blamed just like Theo did, and just like DD did when they screwed up. We know you can’t take it, but if Bloom can’t take it he shouldn’t have come to Boston in the first place, and face the bad Boston Media, and his critics everywhere else from his many admirers, or not from Red Sox Nation.
-
Either way it did not get done, and it was bad all the way around.
-
We don’t have to wait to see if Bloom botched the negotiation or not. What Bogey does from here on out doesn’t have anything to do with Bloom misreading the room in the first place. If Bogey sucks from here on out, which I don’t think he will do doesn’t, or won’t change the actual negotiation process.
-
Everyone knows all the ifs, ands, and buts to the situation, and that’s how everyone has formed their opinions, which aren’t changing.
-
We’ve heard you regurgitate this same response over, and over, and over again. It was a total failure from JH to Bloom no matter how many times you give the same response.
-
It depends how you look at the picture. The 4 titles are great, but all the last place finishes aren’t so great, and the what have you done for me lately crowd like watching ticket prices go up after a losing last place in the Div finish, and watching a fan favorite like Bogey not resigned a few years after letting Mookie go out the door, and you get the boos, and Jeers like JH, and company got at the little get together last week.
-
No on Price, and the Sox would have most likely won that title with Lester.
-
You, and I both don’t know what was out there, or what was the best we could get for Betts. I’m sure there was more out there than what was reported, and another, or a better GM could have gotten more. Let’s remember that the low grades were given out with the idea that Jeter was a prospect, but as we all know he turned out to be a failed suspect.
-
I sure all the pundits took that all under consideration, and know more than what you have speculated. You hang on to a D as a success.
