Ofcourse they knew how talented Hanley was. But noone knew how talented he'd be in the bigs. It was assumed he would be amazing, but there have been huge busts before. This Red Sox team right now sucks imo. No really great players on it. It really misses a guy like Hanley Ramirez. It misses that guy they can build around. Put a Youk and Pedroia and a aging Ortiz around. Beckett will come through in the playoffs. The question is, will they make the playoffs. Also, imagine having Hanley still and not having Beckett, but hacing Lester come along like he has and having Buckholtz smoking people in the minors and ready to be called up. The future would be a lot brighter then it is now.
