Middle of the pack, underachieving, and disappointing. I welcome the teardown as I find much more hope in developing youth and taking flyers on low cost high risk vagabonds. Gone are the Conor Gillespie types… Give me more of the Brett Lawrie Derek Holland types. Can flip for more youth, hold on because you got lucky and found someone you want to stick around or just dump. Essentially the sox were doing this while trying to compete but it felt like these were Band-Aids covering up bullet holes. Embrace the teardown. It’s been bad baseball for yrs built around underachievment. At least now it’s bad baseball built with youth and a plan.

Moncada at 2B and resigning Lawrie in all liklihood closes the door on Sanchez’s Sox career.
