moon, we don't have a clue what he could have done with a limited budget. i just know what he did while he was here. the guy is a HOF GM and been very successful where ever he has been. meanwhile, the entire Sox organization has been a steaming pile of s*** since he was fired. here we are 7 years later and the entire roster has turned over a half dozen times since he left, it still suck ass and the clowns running it don't have a clue. and i don't give a s*** about philly; it has nothing to do with the Red Sox. again, i'll take DD over Bloom or Bresloverpay any day.
