Couple of questions to this topic:
1. Who do you think will do a better job?
2. How will you get them here?
I honestly think Ozzie and Kenny are one of the best GM/Field Manager combos in baseball today. If you got rid of them who do you honestly think would come in here and do a BETTER job? As Sox fans, we would kill to have a GM like KW if he were elsewhere, but since he's here, it's ok to trash the guy. Sure he's made some bad deals in the past, but name me a GM who hasn't. I can honestly say that every year, Kenny ALWAYS will try to get something done to make our club better. Keep in mind we don't have the Yankees, Red Sox, or even the Cubs payroll. Just imagine if he did! Without KW, we wouldn't have the starting staff we have, nor this bullpen. Think about all the crappy prospects we gave up to get what we have now! He's cleary one of the Top 5 in all of baseball.
As for Ozzie. Sure he has his moments, but he's honest with his players and he'll give them every opportunity to succeed. He also protects his players when everyone else is after their heads. Yes he makes his mistakes as well, but I think overall he has a great feel for this staff. He told us that Alexi could be one of the better shortstops in the game and you know what, he was right! I wanted Beckham back at short, but this is why he's a winning manager and i'm just a Sox fan posting silly comments. Don't forget, he got us something we hadn't had in 88 years... A world series ring!
At the end of the day.. sure they both can become such drama queens, but I honestly think they deserve tons of credit for trying to put a competitve team together year in and year out. We just don't have the mega-payroll like other big market teams. I hope they stay a long while!
