This team has a lot of issues, but perhaps the most discouraging/annoying for me is that there are players popping up all around MLB who are faring much better than expected—Bellinger, Sanchez, Judge, Gennett to name a few—while all of the young Sox who've been touted for years are okay to solid yet (for the most part) unspectacular. It's been The Year of the Home Run in MLB, and the Sox forgot to buy their ticket.
