Does Benny Boy deserve to be mocked at this juncture? Well, it hard to find anything positive to point to. The manager search was a fiasco. Papelbon walked on his watch. He made a very ill-considered arbitration offer to Ortiz-- a major blunder in judgment. We are waiting to see something positive from this guy. Until then, I will crack jokes, but I am hopeful he will do something positive.
Edit: He was also asleep at the switch not realizing that Santos was available.
