Why Am I Thinking of Getting Sox Tickets?
I must be mad. Kenny Williams is just receiving lumps of coal on his voyage of reassembling the team this offseason.
Listing of Grievances
1. Not signing Torii Hunter, albeit 90 million is a lot for him.
2. Not getting Miguel Cabrera in a trade, which really would have opened the floodgates for additional trades.
3. Losing Kosuke Fukodome to the Cubs even though they offered more money to Fukodome.
4. Losing out on the Aaron Rowand Sweepstakes. They did not want to give him a 5th year.
Fact is that the Sox have little to offer this offseason. They made a lot of predictions of big things but the Kenny Williams bandwagon must be losing his focus. All I can say is that some of the stuff that went on with Buerhle and Dye could have rubbed off on other players. I can also see why Rowand was not going to waste his time only signing a three or four year deal, however, at the same time, Rowand will have difficulty even getting close to those numbers in San Fran. That team has no offense period compared to the protection he got from the high powered Phillies.
Still I am thinking of getting a season ticket package this season. 13 games would be really awesome.
