Absolutely. If the team is winning, fans will come to the games and they will come to love the Sandy Leons of the baseball world.

Exactly.
Even members of the media have their heads up their asses sometimes.
Yesterday Chad Finn from the Globe made a stupid statement about the Sox payroll being so screwed up that they could not sign a top starting pitcher.
Of course I had to correct him by stating almost verbatim what Moon has said regarding signing a top pitcher AND still getting a second tier power bat like Morrison or Duda.
The prick must have known he was wrong because he did not respond. Usually he responds to my provocations!
He had no chance in this one as I posted all the cap info I had gleaned from Moon.
Surely, if we can afford JD, we can afford a solid pitcher and someone like Duda. Morrison might be a bit too expensive, depending on which pitcher we get, but it looks like we could get Darvish & Duda or Cobb (or Lynn) & Morrison for what it appears JD might get.
Doing this might also allow us to trade ERod mid season, if our rotation looks healthy and we have a big need somewhere (2B? Clean-up?)
I'm anxious to see who gets the 'call up' this year.
We've had Benintendi two years ago and Devers last year.
Who are likely candidates? Perhaps a pitcher this year?
Beni and a Devers were the last in a line of top prospects that were MLb ready
I'm wondering what Sox prospects might make the top 100 this spring.
Groome might be top 50 or 60.
Chavis might squeak in the top 90.
Mata and Houck might be long shots.
Doesn't make much sense. Fans are weird. LOL
I heard a lot of people say that last year's team was not very much fun to watch or not very likable. Personally, I had no problem with them. I found them very enjoyable and likable, though they did have a couple of moments.
