Wait a second, why are you praising Duquette and bashing Epstein?
Duquette: 8 seasons, 3 playoffs, once getting to the ALCS.
Epstein: 3 seasons, 3 playoffs, twice getting to the ALCS, 1 WS.
Not to mention he has not traded away this excellent group of young players, Papelbon, Lester, Hansen, Delcarmen, Youkilis, etc.
Papi, Mueller, Bellhorn, Millar, Schilling, Foulke.
To be quite honest, there is no argument what so ever.
