Red Sox name Wren VP of baseball operations

[iortiz]

August and September mean nothing. This team needs a whole re-tooled bullpen and a couple of top starters. I don't think you need to worry that DD will have to sacrifice the future to accomplish what he needs to do. He should have no problem creating sustainable winning for several years. With the resources at his disposal there is no reason to be finishing last 3 out of seasons. And success can be maintained without stripping the farm bare.

 

Yup. Hopefully DD cleans Cherington's mess.

August and September mean nothing to you because you don't want to acknowledge that Ben actually did a great job with his long term plan.

 

Dombrowski is in a great position. He will be able to reap the benefits of Ben's hard work.

Great job, Ben! Hope you get a job, if you want one. Happy now, Kimmi?

It will be an interesting mix. If Wren is #3 it's ok. In Atlanta his staff hated him - all left and came right back when he got canned. That of course is the most dangerous red flag for a management person. But he knows baseball - and if he is not in charge of any people he could help.
