Well, now.

This hidden little gem is sure to cause nightmares.

Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.

It is interesting

That until Ellsbury the Sox did not develop a major league ready outfielder until way back to Ellis Burks. Now its an organizational strength (Westmoreland, Kalish, Reddick, Fuentes)

good scratch

i liked the stuff on stenson.

i’m not sure, but i think that’s a picture of jeff roids bagwell.

It actually looked good at the time

but in hindsight you are correct. Andersen pitched very well for the 1990 Sox posting a 1.23 ERA in 15 games although he kinda stuck in the ALCS. Bagwell was a decent prospect that had shown no power up until the trade (8 HR in over 900 ABs) and was a pretty bad defender at 3B. That was kinda one of those trdes you get burned on every once in a while

Also, we should have had another year of Anderson

but he was granted free agency by the courts in the collusion lawsuit.

Great read.

Thanks for the link, brought back lots of memories.

It’s crazy how many of these “can’t miss” guys fizzle out. And how the somewhat under the radar guys turn into Roy Halladay and David Ortiz.

Manny ain't the only bad man.
