I don't think the future outlook is all that different to be honest. Under Bloom, the offense looked great, but the pitching was a big mystery. Now, the pitching looks solid up and down the org and the offense has a few young pieces, but needs help. You keep saying things like "pompous" towards Brez, but that's not really the vibe I get from him. I know he's a Yalie and very book smart. I think he's probably more aloof than pompous. He's just not a personable guy. To let that deeply affect your Sox fandom is kind of wild to me. When the game is being played, I don't find myself worried about the suits behind the scenes all that much.
