I'd like to submit for choice "Most nights, I don't know.... anymore"

YES

I'll stand corrected if that is the case, I just remember hearing that being a main draw for his services.

I think it is utterly asinine to not let Rick choose his guy. RH was kept on because he was a top analytics guy that ballclubs were slavering over when the possibility of him being available came about. Now, after putting up with mouthbreathing fans that blame him for the on field talent and offseason signings, when he finally has HIS team HE wanted to put together through HIS means, JR comes along a deebo's his options for manager. It makes no sense outside of JR doing JR things.

Agreed but his bat solidifies this offense such that you wouldn't have to spend more on pitching. You plug him in this past season instead of Mazara and add back Kopech I think the Sox make it to the ALCS at least.
