I do think it’s a bit harsh, but not far off. But 30 out of 30? My goodness.
I was pretty much half joking with the grade....but just half joking. Actually, I like the Benintendi signing, he brings a steady stick, even if he does lack power, plus he'll far and away be the best defensive left fielder we've had for some time. But adding him to the roster doesn't move the needle enough in terms of the big pic. We needed at least another 2 or 3 similar types of upgrading via signings and/or trades, to make a real difference this year. The only thing we possibly have going for us is if our roster can stay healthy the entire season. That could change things for the better.

on this we can all agree. this is a decent team when all healthy. i just don't know if that's possible with these guys. and losing hendriks (and most likely clevinger) makes this that much harder as well.

just sell the fucking team!

Well that's a topper - a **** patch. This after we had the Umpires wear the now defunct and litigated FTX patch.

Not real - but it would be in line with the state of the team right now.

Waiting for the Sox to announce ZZ Top as the new house band.

Nice little bit here about how Luis Robert is working out and hanging out with Oscar Colas.

I'll take the over on that

We lost Abreu...I don't trust this team until I see at least 3-4 weeks of product.

Nah...I'll be there whether we suck or not-as always-But I fully expect us to suck. Jose was the heart of our team. Seeing him in another uni will cut just as bad as it did when Big Hurt and Baines wore other unis....

Here's the pathetic part about all this. It's not so much that I disagree with the ZiPS predictions, altho I do feel the Sox are slighted somewhat here. But look at the Central winner's record here, barely over .500 - as in all the Sox had to do was make a few solid additions and we could own this division. THAT's why it's so frustrating.

And to be fair, the Sox sucked with Abreu too...

I personally feel the Sox will be 3-4 in the AL Central this year. They have not improved since last year IMO.
