I watched him quite a bit in Double-A this year. He was good. Good enough that Seattle didn’t even bother trying him at AAA before calling him up. I’m excited about him pitching for the Sox.
i don't know about Red but Breslow was not even my Top 10 of who i thought might get the job. and really, i'm not sure how much it matters who it is if it's the same dysfunctional, haphazard, half-assed FO/ownership approach.
some thought Oct 2, 1949 was the worst day in Red Sox history after Joe McCarthy pulled Kinder for Mel Parnell. i wasn't around then but Oct 2, 1978 was the worst for me.
yeah, but their defense is the exact opposite of the Red Sox. i think the Dbacks and Rangers are ranked 1-2 in defense. maybe, just maybe good D has something to do with success. don't tell Max though.
i think any potential GM would understand Bloom being let go and not hesitate to consider the opportunity. however, i think any unwillingness to consider the job links back to DD and the fact that he was fired after 3 very successful seasons and one mediocre season. knowing THAT is the bar would make anyone shy away.
this is true. and for all my hatred of all things Bloom, i guess i should keep in mind that JH may have been far more responsible for his poor showing than we know.
