does not erase my lack of agreement with the philosophy of tanking nor my disappointment with the people who drove us to have to undertake a rebuild.

for the record and to avoid continued confusion

I can 100% believe in a rebuild now.

see if you feel the same way when they suck next year with absolutely nothing of excitement going on and a few of these guys not living up to billing

Just hope that Hahn can stick around to see this rebuild through. With how rockstar he has been over the last year, he is going to be in high demand. I don't know when his current contract with the Sox is up.

yeah, I know. how many of them will live up to billing? one-quarter? how many Ruffcorns? and some are still 500 games away from being a big leaguer....it's frustrating to go and see a team that can't compete.

still, the last time the sox had prospects like this was the late 80s....and that paid off. of course, many of those players were more seasoned than some of these guys.

I can believe in an idea, if there is a valid attempt. I can tell you, I will go to more games now. With what they did in the offseason, seemed like a half assed retooling(somebody say tool?). I can get behind this. I would assume, that this will be followed up with Moncada being brought up with a pitcher next year, and hopefully some FA's starting to sign.

This second half will be the nadir, they will improve noticably next season with Giolito, Moncada, Delmonico, Lopez and Burdi (if he doesn't need TJ) reinforcing Abreu, Rodon and some bargain find free agents. If Moncada is as advertised they will be at around .500.

I'd be very excited if I was a Sox fan. Your team has talent and direction. You could spend $200M and not be assured of a World Series. Instead you don't have contract risk with any of these guys, and you just need a few to be All Stars to become competitive.
