If you have good scouts, it doesn't really matter. There are some late first round picks I wish we had instead of Fulmer, Burger and Collins honestly. Lump Rodon into that group as well actually.

I was seriously asking your opinion.... I wonder if Ozzie is a bit of a curse. Makes sense if true. I remember Cora interviewing for Manager gigs before his brother was retired from baseball.... so its gotta be Ozzie.

If they do and get crushed, it will be interesting to see how the FO responds. The Sox can't beat the Yankees in future because they've never played them in the past? What kind of logic is that?

They have totally different personalities, but Cora was pretty much perceived as a sidekick and enabler in the 2009-2011 time period...and that still doesn’t sit well with many. It’s kind of like he should have known the consequences when he hitched his wagon to Ozzie’s. That, and some of the reports about the drinking culture and extracurricular hijinks, just don’t see it ever happening for him.

Now the culture seems to be more one of avoiding any responsibility and hoping it goes away because the attention span of the public and news media is so short.

Both of them needed to say they accept responsibility and just ended their statements. Instead they both look like absolute jokes

He was just referred to as ‘bench coach’ around here, and the fact he’s now managing one of our biggest rivals means that we want absolutely no harm to come to some totally random guy that I just went out of my way to pin the blame on by not directly naming him. Well, actually, now that I’ve had time to reflect, it’s kind of AJ’s fault for hiring him in the first place.”

January 14, 20206 yr Luhnow produced a culture of cheating. He's proud of the other executives he's mentored, now working/running other teams. Scary shit. Edited January 14, 20206 yr by Charlie Haeger's Knuckles

I doubt Luhnow will work as a GM again. If the Stros' owner is telling the truth then Luhnow violated his trust and that's going to be a problem for him regardless of how much ignorance he claims here.

Fiers didn't need receipts, he just said something and everyone started looking closely at it, and it unraveled
