Collins and Engel finishing strong.

Good for Collins.

Nice to see. Especially Collins. They need a better outfielder than Engel offensively. It may come down between Engel and Garcia for the 4th outfielder job. I like Garcia's versatility although Engel is a top notch defensive outfielder. What Engel has done, though, is make himself a target for other teams and that is good to see for a guy who has done what he has done this year.

Wellington!

They avoided 90 losses!

At the game today. Nice to get a win and get a chance to give standing ovation to TA and Abreu.

i think they did what people thought they would do this year. Good year. Improved, surpassed 70 wins, developed some youngsters.

Hopefully next year is better with Kopach but who knows.

This year was a big surprise to me. The turnarounds with Giolito and Anderson was spectacular. McCann came out of nowhere to be one of the better two way catchers in all of baseball. I expected Moncada to be an all-star and he had an all-star season. JImenez was a complete surprise and his future is amazing. Yeah there were some disappointments. Palka/is a bust. Losing Rodon and Kopech hurt. Much of the bull-pen was a cluster fuck but Colome and a couple of other guys were excellent.

From where they were in 2018, this was a good turnaround and with Robert, Mercedes, and Madrigal, Kopech, Cease, and a few others in the wings the improvement will continue in 2020. But it WILL NOT BE ENOUGH. Two very good starting pitchers and a veteran right fielder are mandatory and this is where Reinny has to make a statement and go after a championship starting next season.

I think that the excitement is going to be great on the south side IF Reinny makes his move to a championship. There should be many happy sox fans in the stands next season.
