    You left out the "Red Sox headed for third last place finish in four years" part. So are you suggesting that Ben misunderstood the situation or it wasn't explained to him properly? And that Henry and Werner then said "Oh, gee, we really weren't expecting that. Now I guess we'll need DD to make all the decisions."
  2. Bellhorn04
    It's totally implausible that Dombo was only hired to do what Larry had been doing (whatever that was). Dombo has always been a head decision-maker. It only makes sense that Henry wanted DD to assume that responsibility with the Red Sox, and that's exactly the way it unfolded. Ben realized he was no longer going to be that guy, and he resigned.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I don't think that's true. Most people hold DD responsible for Price, Sale, and Eovaldi. And the stuff about Lucchino being responsible for Sandoval and/or Hanley is all speculation.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I never said he was, that's just trying to put words in my mouth. The point is that he's not the head decision-maker.
  5. Bellhorn04
    It all adds up to the fact that he was being 'supplanted', as Nick correctly put it. If you want to argue that it was a case of Ben seeing 'the writing on the wall', that's virtually the same thing.

    Theo Epstein is the president of the Cubs. I don't think there's any doubt he's the head decision-maker in baseball operations. Sam Kennedy is the president of the Red Sox. I don't think there's any doubt Chaim Bloom is the head decision-maker in baseball operations.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Not at all. Why would Ben resign if his position in operations wasn't going to change? Makes no sense.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Jeez man, you really put a lot of stock in the official titles. If DD was only replacing Lucchino's function, Ben would not have resigned.
  9. Bellhorn04
    His numbers have certainly gone in a bad direction this year - 40 K's and 6 BB's.
  10. Bellhorn04
    That might only mean he's out of the game at an early age.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Porcello it is then.
  12. Bellhorn04
    In 1999 he signed Cabrera, drafted Beckett and traded for Penny. Yeah, I'd say he had something to do with the 2003 title.
  13. Bellhorn04
    LOL every baseball executive would like that secret.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I don't know, but he seems like an interesting possibility.
  15. Bellhorn04
    He also put some pieces in place for the Marlins team that won in 2003, didn't he?
  16. Bellhorn04
    Lakins was traded in January. I don't really see the connection with him and Weber, but roster management is admittedly not my thing.
  17. Bellhorn04
    This was a lost season and a good one to tank.
  18. Bellhorn04
    We also had a bunch of guys who pitched worse than Weber, so I don't know why you'd single him out.
  19. Bellhorn04
    No Sale, no ERod, unloaded Price and Porcello. Bloom had his work cut out, to put it mildly.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Too bad we didn't swap him for Odor!
  21. Bellhorn04
    And the paucity of starting pitchers.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Has he actually been a 'finisher' with every team he's been with?
  23. Bellhorn04
    ??? You said you'd like to have given Ben one more year in your previous post. So what does this post mean?
  24. Bellhorn04
    In the Yankees' last 16 games, the winning team has scored in double figures 9 times.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The Yankees and Jays have played 6 consecutive games in which the winning team scored in double figures.
