forkit Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 While we're debating the merits of the latest Sox pickup, here's a question: We've made some very aggressive trades this year, even though we weren't in first place in our own division [at least, at the time of each trade]. If you believe what KW said after yesterday's trade for Sullivan, the Sox are looking to see if there are more additions possible... Who's behind all these moves? Is Kenny still pulling the trigger? Has Eddie Einhorn returned to the saddle? And if he has, what will happen to KW after the season ends? Who's the front-runner if he is replaced? Inquiring minds want to knowyour thoughts and guesses! Forkit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Who's behind all these moves? <clip> Inquiring minds want to knowyour thoughts and guesses! there are several schools of thought on that one. one possibility is KW is fully GM - whatever was going down in the early part of the season no longer applies. another possibility: Hemond is pulling the strings. At the moment, I lean towards the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkdog Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 It's interesting to note that KW has consistently referred to a collective rather than himself when it came to these deals. "We thought..." as oppossed to "I thought..." If KW is truly in charge, it is his decision along with JR's blessing to pull the trrigger on deals. "We" implies that the decision is being made by a group. I think the "we" is Einhorn, Hahn, and Hemond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will have to say that Hahn is getting quoted in the papers way more often than ever before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Einhorn? Doubt it. I think it's KW. I was dead set against him when he was hired and pissed off through his many mistakes, but damn, he's going all out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
