That is a good observation. Are you hinting that I did not like Cherington? I don't think that I disliked him. i was actually in favor of most of his moves - even the questionable ones. Do I think that he was as good at his job as Dombrowski? No I don't. I probably support Dd the way i do simply because I am opposed to the piling on. It's the pack mentality I tend not to like.

I'm not really ready to buy the passive aggressive crap but thanks for the free psycho analysis. I freely admit that I have issues but somehow I have been able to deal with them.
-
By the way, i don't consider what i said to even resemble passive aggressive. I was pretty clear I think. there are people who post here who I think certainly pretend to know more about all things Red Sox than the people actually running the show.
-
You don't have to educate me as to how it's done. Trust me on that one. Does that sound condescending . I do try to play nicely but I'm finding it to be a bit of a tough go. Know what I mean? Without telling anyone how I really feel, I think there are other ways to state the obvious. Now if it is a face to face thing that is a little different. I'm a pretty easy read.
-
I keep rereading this. it doesn't really sound like something you would post. Doesn't seem very nice.
-
Interesting - i don't consider myself passive aggressive and I don't think I am condescending nor all knowing. What do you call yourself?
-
Not really but whatever the eye of the beholder sees I guess is ok.
-
lol

I think that you moved the goal posts just a bit as you often seem to do. I should know better than to argue with someone who is right. Now don't indulge me by telling me about all of the mistakes you have made. Also do not waste your time by telling me that nothing personal is intended in what you say. you ard the experts are right of course and any other argument doesn't matter.
-
So very true and it kind of proves the point I'm trying to make. i guess in some minds either we should have kept all we lost or at least consulted those here who really know what we should be doing!
-
so very very true!
-
When you pose a question in that way, I think that I can answer as I wish. The three "best guys" as you call them have moved up. they were not traded and i'm guessing there was a reason for that. I continue to believe that nothing of great value was given up to get what we wanted and needed. The wheat once again was separated form the chaf. i like my answer.
-
Likely true
-
If you are interested in my response I would say that after you take Devers, Beni, and Chavis out of the equation, with the exception of Moncada and possibly Kopech, I would go with group number 1. I guess that means that outside of Moncada and possibly Kopech, I feel that we kept the right guys and the next wave very likely will be better than the group we gave up.
-
My choice of words might have been stronger than necessary. I'm glad that some find these types of projections fascinating. I just don't I guess. I am much more interested in discussions about actual performance.
-
So we go from top 3 to 30 and back to 22 in what time span based on what criteria? I think that these rankings are ludicrous as well as meaningless.
-
i knew that you could be bought...
-
A decimated farm goes from 3 to 30 whatever and then back down to 20 whatever in the wink of an eye. Someone has got some splainin to do. POST OF MY DAY
-
but what about the cliff boss - the cliff? lol
-
I think that he is as good as it gets.
-
It would amaze me in a somewhat negative way if the players didn't at least try to get as much as they could from the uber wealthy owners. I'm just not sure that what you are going to get for that 3oo million dollar contract is going to make you all that much better.
-
I'm also coming to grips with the silliness of the long term hundreds of million dollar contracts. Doesn't look to me like they are paying the types of returns that owners assumed they would. I would absolutely love to see Betts sign and stay in Boston. I think that he is one of those generational talents but he is only one person and to date he hasn't pitched. I don't think that signing him to one of those 10 year 300 million dollar contracts would make any sense at all. As many times as we see these great players come, there always seems to be another just around the corner.
-
I would love to see our starting pitchers come to camp in the spring all in great shape and ready to roll. We would once again be competing for the post season rush. Not to mention the fact that our new GM would get all of the credit for not breaking up a quality rotation.
-
A serious answer - Looking back at it from today's perspective -yes. But I was super excited that we signed him long term and still am. The Pearce contract took me by surprise for sure I will admit. It was a good reward for him I guess. With respect to Sale, I felt that based on what he gave for so long, he was very much underpaid. I still am a believer and think that he he will be once again very effective. Oh - I think that the Eovaldi signing was a gamble but I hope that the thought was that we would have a pretty solid pitching staff moving forward. Plans just don't always seem to work out.

A buffoon says you??? Just when i get ready to retire for a while, you throw this at me. Come on man, I need my rest. It'll be good for you all. I think that you are doing this on purpose just to keep me around! lol As our farm system continues to climb in the rankings for no apparent reason can we at least get an atta boy for poor old out of work DD?
