So when people mention the 2011 debacle, you dismiss that by saying it was a collapse, then when the 2012 rotation is brought your rebuttal is "yeah but they had no expectations". And you have no answer at all for the 2006 rotation even thought that falls within the 10 year time span you set in the OP.
Why do you keep moving the goalposts? Are you really that hellbent on demonizing Cherington and the rest of this team's management? Still?
