Managers are overrated… says the fan of the team that wouldn’t let it’s manager interview with the Sox.

I don’t really get your point.. So because I’m a jays fan, everything that happens in the front office becomes my view point??
solid deducting skills
Slopeboy
correct me if I’m wrong, but were you not one of the Jays fans that was against Farrell interviewing with the Red Sox a while back. If I’ve confused you with some of your fellow birds I do apologize.
Lunchbox45
I am against it only for the principle. You go through an extensive interview process to hire someone only to let them walk away??
If the red sox gave something valuable back to the jays I would pack Farrell’s bag myself.
Slopeboy
And you don’t see just a little irony, huh?

No. They shouldnt have to give up value because he makes their team that much better, they should have to give up value for him because he’s under contract with another team. Again, principle..
Jays can plug in Sal Fasano and win in or around the same as they would with Farrell.. No one believes otherwise, but you don’t let a rival team poach your staff for the same position, sets a really bad precedent and makes the organization look second class.
Slopeboy
Fair enough.

No GM has complete autonomy. Just last year your team’s GM publicly came out admitting that he was outright against the Soriano signing and that Levine basically handled that one. Cherington’s no more or less of a “puppet” than any other MLB GM.

Actually, Francona generally wasn’t particularly shy about going out there and arguing a bad call. Heck, we quite probably wouldn’t have made it to the ’04 WS if not for Francona coming out to argue the game 6 slap call in the ’04 ALCS.

It’s not the manager’s job to develop young pitchers. That’s what the farm system and player development is for, and to a limited extent, the pitching coach.

I’m excited to see how Bobby can work with a team as talented as the Red Sox. There’s only so much mileage you can get out of Bobby Jones and Benny Agbayani.

I would say most Red Sox fans DIDN’T want either of those guys gone.

Actually, Cherington and Hoyer were the ones who pulled the trigger on the Hanley for Beckett/Lowell trade. A trade that won us a World Series.
