Hahnny is a middling-GM for better or for worse. The Sox seem to lack access to cutting edge knowledge or procedures particular to MLB. Soxorg is like the table full of guys at the meeting in Money Ball who disagree with how Billy wants to run his ball club. Maybe hire Theo's nephew and pick his brain a bit. There is a huge process going on right now regarding broadcast rights and I doubt the Sox have a plan to shape the future. Meanwhile someone else will figure out how to optimize AI for baseball while the Sox are at the kiddie table.
I actually like TA but it seems he has some things going on and it may be that injuries are catching up with him. It looks like the huge payday he wanted will not come to pass. If he can still hit he might have a future at 2B.
Today marks 162 games without a southpaw SP. No not that Southpaw. Some of us remember Trout, Kravec, Baumgarten, Burns and Wortham (1980 or so) before Rich Dotson, Lamarr Hoyt and Tom Seaver came along.
Pedro's fam is from Cuba. I assume his lineage was a hiring factor esp with Josie leaving. There is also off-season bonding in Miami that could be important. I like this.
