Overall Grade on Bloom & Cora

[moonslav59]

I also vote #1 easily.

 

They are not there yet, but Bloom/Cora could rival Epstein/Francona.

 

They have a ways to go, and certainly it is not a sure thing they ever win a ring, but the path has been established, and the farm and 40 man roster rebuild happened much more quickly than I ever imagined it could.

 

I'm not surprised so many have graded them harshly, as context is often ignored, and mistakes have been mades, but overall, it's as clear as day. Better than C+ for both.

So as we sit here on June 18 and in 4 th place I give Bloom an F and Cora a F .But many will say look how far they have come Swi !!! Yeah screw that bud this is a results oriented business and the results suck ass .F grades all around .Ill consider a D if they pass the Rays and a B for Bloom on trades .Cora has lost a few games himself by resting players so I’m less than happy with how poor they have been in 2022 .Bloom has been a terrible hire and the trades he’s made has put us in 4 th place .F Bloom .

 

On behalf on the entire talksox nation, I want to thank you, most sincerely, for choosing that moniker. You embody all that was great about Blake Swihart.

Cora doing well is not going to handcuff Bloom.

 

Of course it isn't. I like jacksonianmarch, but he is capable of blather.

The better the Yankees play, the more blather there is.

Hard to blame a Yankee fan for blathering on and on, right now.

 

Remember how badly we felt after going so long between rings? Thing of this as their 2004, and they don't even have a ring, yet.

You can't blame Yankees fans for being excited about their team. It's been a while for them (though comparing them to our 2004 might be stretching it a bit LOL.)

It seemed like an appropriate jab.

 

Lord knows we received our amount of jabs from Yankee fans for decades.

Bloom has been horrific for Boston .He has never Addressed 1b even last year he signed Kyle and tried to make him one stupid terrible move and even then he jettisoned the guy who would have made an adequate DH LF candidate ..He then jettisoned Hunter for an all glove and declining all glove JBJ ? This team has been dismantled and mismanaged since he came .Fire Bloom .

Horrific = ALCS appearance in 1 out of 2 years.

 

Wow, such great insight!

Based on results, I give them both a C. The trade for Bradley was a head scratcher at best.
