"I have the power of persuasion" (asked about if he will have the power to block trades). "Its Rick's decision, until its not. Just like any corporation."

Hiring and firing in other departments is still up to Jerry.

"Final approval" not any different than conversation I would have to have with Jerry.

Big things will always be done in committee, sure. But little to medium things, Rick will own, and big things, he will own the idea-generation and getting things served up, for discussion in said committee. That is the job of a GM.

Want to capitialize on under valued guys...

It was a joke. I'm pretty sure he got it.

 

Riiiiiight

"I still want to be involved in contracts" but may bring in help from outside.

"We want to be able to continue to infuse young talent" to complement vets.

Now getting his backhand in on where the Sox minor league system was rated...

"The rankings are one thing, how the system functions is another"

Talking about adding more to the latin american operations.

"my focus is more putting a product on the field" versus trying to convince people to show up at the park.
