I'll say it. If it wasn't for DD the Red Sox would win the World Series. Also, if not for DD, the Bruins would have won the Stanley Cup, Gary Johnson would have won the 2016 Presidential election, and Tyrion would have been named King of Westeros. I think that sums it up...
-
Dipoto has had two stints working for the Red Sox already. More likely the Sox give the GM title to Romero and maybe hire a President...
-
Yeah we don't want him...
-
Nice combining it with my Game of Thrones joke...
-
Great. The Sox can go to war with the United Nations...

I was worried at the time, but I assumed DD had done his homework on Sale's physical condition. All my worries resurfaced by bout the 3rd inning of opening day. But there is reason for optimism with Sale. His FIP is 3.39 and his xFIP is 2.93. Normally in a case like this, it seems to be possible some bad luck involved. But in Sale's case it just seemed like a durability issue. He'd cruise along for 3 innings facing 9 or 10 batters, and then he'd just implode and give up 4 runs...
-
No he didn't. He listed him as "Possible opt out"
-
No. He was fired. Quitting is one of the moves he didn't make that lead to him getting fired...
-
And he wrote the final season to "Game of Thrones"...
-
So Papi is qualified to be the GM based on a fictional conversation that includes a deal offer Mookie already turned down?
-
Like... quitting?
-
I will say one surprising facet of the Dombrowski regime was his ability to get serviceable and potentially serviceable Diamondbacks' prospects while unloading optionless Sox players who were facing being released...
-
And I hope you spend your entire offseason budget on Gerrit Cole, who will want a Price contract. And the bloated budget kills your ability to pay both Judge and Torres in arbitration as Cole starts his decline...
-
Given his style, results were about as good as could have been hoped for. But the duration was shorter, and the aftermath might be too long...
-
An overblown reaction to compare trading Mookie to trading Babe Ruth. Free agency exists now, so it's just one year of Mookie and then he will hit free agency, as he has repeatedly said he wants to, and the Sox can try to get him back.

Hazen is currently the General Manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks...

I would be very surprised if there was a full blown rebuild. It won't solve anything and would be too costly, assuming it actually works. We all know "worst to first" really isn't some huge step. It can be done quickly. We also all know (especially Mariner fans) that rebuilds are a crapshoot more likely to keep a team in the basement than build a champion. The Sox have a good foundation. This team still has a lot of talent. But if they can no longer spend money like drunken Kardashians and have to dial back a bit, that shouldn't be a problem. This is MLB. The jump from worst to first is going from a 40% winning percentage to a 60% winning percentage. And the Sox aren't even close to a 40% team...

You're not even trying I left you with: Mark Acre Aaron Miles Hal Peck J.R. Graham (gram)
-
And we will again if we go 6-12 to end the season...
-
I don't know how Ortiz qualifies under those requirements. If the role of the GM involved hitting a dramatic ninth inning home run, I might agree. But it's more than just baseball knowledge nowadays. You don't see many former players being hired for GM roles any more. In fact, we have seen multiple new GM hires who were young enough to still be playing...
-
Sounds like some sort of honorary thing. I think Lucchino gets a bad rap on message boards as some guy who knows nothing about baseball, but he is a career sports exectuive with World Series rings and a Super Bowl ring and a Final Four championship under his belt. He knws what he is doing. But I don't know if stepping down was his idea or not. Why do so mid-season? And was it a "lucky break" for the Sox that the Tigers had recently fired his replacement?
-
Not only did he not fire Farrell immediately, he won two division titles with JF as manager...
-
Actually, Lucchino was the only one fired last time, wasn't he? Or was it one of those "retirements", as in "Congrats Larry! You're retiring today! Here's $20. Go buy yourself a cake."
-
I agree. Getting below $198mill doesn't leave you with nothing but unpaid rookies. The reset limit is still extremely high...
