How horrifying is it that the sox coaches and instructors were so freaking high on Romy…. like their internal scouting and understanding of players is shockingly bad.
I don’t think that’s true. I don’t think they were necessarily high on Romy, honestly. I think Hahn is full of shit, and has been for 3 years. He may have been laughing inside when he made those gushing comments. Is very possible I think, honestly.
nah, this was over the top, everyone that had contact with him and spent time training him was raving… way way over the top stuff far past posturing or just usual high praise for anyone in the organization,
I genuinely think they have no clue how to scout
I think they were using Romy as an example to the others that “Hey if you put in the time in the off season you’ll get recognized and hyped for it.”.
