    The one year bridge (2010) has turned into a 2 year bridge (2010, 2011) that is turning into a 3 year bridge as no big prospects will be hitting next years roster. Lavarnway will be a backup catcher if he makes the team and Iglesias will be a backup SS. Whether or not Theo has done a good job in the last 3 years (IMO it the results are clear), IMON it's time for new blood and new ideas.

    9 years in the job is enough. I think new blood for an organization is healthy. At this time, Theo has had 3 poor years in a row. It's time to make a change. It's not a job for life. It's the Red Sox, not a very very very high paying civil service job. Debate his overall record all you want. Good bad or otherwise nine years is enough. There are always capable available people with new ideas who can improve the organization.

    Igleisas has shown no ability to hit. Lavarnway has shown no ability to play defense. But most telling is the fact that you can't name any pitchers that could help in the near term.

    Buchholz is part of the current core.

    Now you are twisting things again. Please stop doing that. I compared the class of 2007 to the current crop not to prove any of the things you are saying or "comparing Theo to Theo". I brought up the 2007 class to address E1's post regarding his confidence in the 2011 team has a strong core as did the 2006 team. I pointed out that the 2006 had an infusion of farm talent that the 2011 team cannot expect. Try to stay on topic.

    The major difference is that after 2006 the Red Sox had Pedroia on the way together with Lester and Ellsbury. Lester admittedly didn't do much in 2007, but he was mid-season depth. I n 2008, all three were productive full time major leaguers. I don't see that influx of talent coming to the Sox in 2012.

    I think you are underweighting the importance of the FA failures. In addition to the money that has been squandered on past FA busts, he has the team locked into a couple of big contracts that the team will have to live for years going forward-- Lackey and Crawford. Also, I would include as a con that here is little ML ready star quality players in our Minor League system. It is very thin talent-wise.

    Sometimes I think E1 would rather cut off a limb than to criticize Theo. I don't think he is being very objective about it, and his suggestion in his post is sort of like if you don't like it find another team, but I know you won't, so live with it. I don't get it. We are assessing and analyzing the record of the GM and discussing whether the team is better with him or without him. I think we are being very objective. Theo's record - not just wins and losses- has not been great on a number of fronts over the last 3 years, and I can't think of 1 aspect where his performance has been excellent. With regard to this season, most people think Theo is significantly responsible for this collapse.

    Hopefully, Youk's body is not braking down.

    The fact that Tampa has so much more pitching talent with a much smaller payroll than the Sox is an indictment of your boy.

    If we got Bedard for free, it was a mistake.

    Not sure what you are asking?

    If the Cards hold off Houston (9-6 in the 7th), they will be going into the final game in a dead heat with the Braves.
