I give Cherington a C- as he did win a WS
-
what other grade would you give for 3 last place finishes in 4 seasons??
-
I am going to say this for the last time. I blame John Henry for MUCH of Bloom's shortcomings. IMO he tied his hands on any significant spending. On the other hand I think our farm system is somewhat over-rated by some. Yes we do have some pretty good position prospects but we don't have a SINGLE top P prospect. Pitching was our main shortcoming when Bloom arrived and it remains our main shortcoming. THAT is on Bloom.
-
I think it is more likely that he was not guilty but nonetheless I do not like his overall character but if he would consider a 1 year deal for 15-18 million I might consider it. He really hasn't pitched much the past year or 2. Does anyone know how he has done in Japan?
-
The main problem with Bauer as I see it is that he is a total jerk. I remember watching once when Tito came to pull him Bauer turned and fired the ball into the CF bleachers. I think I'd stay away for that reason alone.
-
that is NOT going to happen as reports are that many potential candidates have no interest in the job. This is on John Henry and it is going to be hard to un-do.
-
i am not pro or con on Cora but you are bang on with your post
-
Overall Bloom's grade is an F. 3 last place finishes and not a single top pitching prospect speaks volumes
-
and 3 of the last 4
-
Mookie is on JOHN HENRY--not Bloom or DD. John Henry ALONE refused to buck up for Mookie and NO-ONE can convince me otherwise.
-
why are we wasting time on Crawford? He is at best SP DEPTH only. Possibly can have a BP spot. It is only his funky delivery that helps him and as a result he is better suited for a BP role.
-
correct me if I am wrong but I believe they were all acquired under DD's watch
-
PS I totally forgot to mention Devers and Houck
-
i agree with pretty much everything in your post. DD's one major blunder was extending Sale but he was kind of under the gun on that.
-
You missed the point totally. What the poster is saying is that DD was on base with the prospects he kept. Would you rather have the 4 you listed or Bello, Casas, Duran, Raefla? Then of course if we keep your 4 we don't get Sale { bad extension aside} and anyone else DD acquired for those 4 you mention. DD was a FAR FAR better GM than Bloom will EVER be.
-
And lord knows we have seen enough bums in Boston these past 4 years.
-
nonetheless a DUMB joke
-
you will need to expand on this post as it may be your dumbest yet
-
and so your suggestion is ??????????
-
No because we have Mayer coming in no later than 2025 and Story will then slide over to 2B
-
Sorry but I call BS on this post as Bloom brought in more than enough of this BBB type talent
-
Yamamoto should be one for sure and we can NOT be out-bid on him. Then look to trade for an available YOUNG pitcher who is MLB ready. If our farm system is as good as Bloom fans say it is we should certainly have the assets for a trade. And finally draft the best available COLLEGE SP available with our 1st rd pick. And I am not interested in hearing about the best player available argument either. We have enough quality position players in the minors already but not a single TRUE top pitching prospect.
-
i would sign Duvall for 2 years. He actually was a pretty good fit. The Sox HAVE to spend this offseason.
-
I disagree. There is still a good core in place. They need 2 SOLID SP , an upgrade at 2B, and figuring out their OF but all this is reasonably achieved PROVIDED Henry is willing to spend again. Houck and Whitlock both go to the pen.
-
what prospects that DD traded make a big impact? We are seeing DD prospects that he didn't trade like Bello, Duran, Houk, Raefala, Casas become big contributors now as well. There is just simply no comparison between the 2 GM's.
