I can think of about 29 other MLB teams that also picked up guys who were past their prime.

To be the "glass half full" contrarian, I think we could come up with a pretty decent list of players the Sox have produced, and/or acquired early in their careers, and/or started with the Sox and went on to productive careers elsewhere, and/or reached their career peak with the Sox, just in the last 35 years, starting with:
Harold Baines Britt Burns Richard Dotson LaMarr Hoyt Ron Kittle Carlton Fisk (played more games with us than BOS) Greg Walker (nice first half to his career) Ozzie Guillen Ivan Calderon Bobby Bonilla (we developed him) Bobby Thigpen Ron Karkovice Lance Johnson Jack McDowell Robin Ventura Frank Thomas Alex Fernandez Wilson Alvarez Roberto Hernandez Mike Cameron (we developed him) Ray Durham Keith Foulke Paul Konerko Magglio Ordonez Carlos Lee Chad Bradford (we developed him) Joe Crede Mark Buehrle Jon Garland Aaron Rowand Bobby Jenks Matt Thornton John Danks Carlos Quentin Alexei Ramirez Chris Sale I think it's also fair to say these players grown elsewhere reached their career peaks with the Sox: Jermaine Dye Scott Podsednik AJ Pierzynski Freddy Garcia Jose Contreras You may now continue with your "woe is me" pity party.

Taylor:
The thread title says "players acquired past their prime..." Burks made the all star team with Colorado AFTER the Sox let him go, therefore he couldn't have been "past his prime" could he? Also if guys are "past their prime" how could players like Seaver, Tartabull and Burks put up the numbers they did with the Sox? Seems to me we differ on the definition of "past their prime." Lip
