Viciedo had the third lowest OBP for all left fielders in baseball last year. Bland may be stretching a bit, but it's not as much as you think it is.

Most people saw this happening. Just not many on this board or with the club. I don't understand your last statement. Historically bad hitting is not a plight that's befallen hitters undeserving. We have a historically bad offense made up of some really bad hitters with poor approaches. |

Even if Danks was 100 healthy on opening day and the Sox dealt Floyd, Sox fans would have questioned Hahn entrusting the back end of the rotation to Quintana, Santiago and/or Axelrod.

Seriously, Viciedo was NOT good last year. If you want to believe he has potential, that's your decision. But you can't say he had a good year last year when he was among the worst in baseball. Sorry. That's not going to fly. |

That statement is so laughable it almost makes me angry. I can't even think of anything to say to reflect how asinine you sound. You always back up your statements so well, show me any respected publication that named Viciedo as one of the 5 worst players in baseball. |

I've already said the Sox should have kept AJ.
What other specific moves could the Sox have made to improve the offense that: 1. Would not have required JR approving a significant payroll increase, and 2. Would not have weakened the rotation and/or bullpen? |

Or....blow it up. It looks like he's going to have to anyway. So any argument that he couldn't really isn't an argument at all. |

It looks like this team will eventually be blown up, but my fear is it will happen two years later than it should. |

Does it really though? There's some really good rotations out there. It might be third best in the AL Central alone.

Lots of players signed for something we could have afforded. Michael Bourne, who I pined for all offseason, comes to mind.
