If anyone doesn't remember or wants to learn more, check out the link. It's probably the best article concerning the 38 Studios nonsense.
Well, he also guaranteed people things like mortgage payments and health insurance coverage but screwed them over without ever giving them a heads up. His lack of transparency was pretty much ill intent. When you are hiding your financial troubles and telling your employees that everything is ok, it's ill intent.
Being worried about how a lineup switch would impact the team is a real concern. Some guys can't hit leadoff, but Betts can.
Being worried about how a change create some supernatural rift in how the Red Sox play is not a real concern obviously.
I figured there has been enough talk of him this year that he should be given his own thread.

Fangraphs has projected the chance of the Sox winning the division at 71%. They also have an expected win total of 92.
Sox and Cubs have the two highest WS %'s.

For those that don't live/work in RI, the government is really corrupt and horrible. There have been a few recent arrests of legislators, but it barely passes as news anymore because of how much money is wasted annually.
This has as much to do with the incompetent and corrupt RI government as it does with Schill. I don't like Schill, but he gets too much of the blame pie for this. It's at least 50/50 in who was at fault for the tax burden. Curt gets 100% of the blame for all of the employee issues that happened.
