Merkin talks winter meetings and other possibilities

[LDF]

This was just from what was reported and I'm taking at face value. KW said from about 2007 on that eventually they would do a complete rebuild when they thought the time was right. At that time he said that they still had a number of veterans performing well and they didn't feel it was time.

Thus is not some in side knowledge, just quotes from KW.

 

and thanks i appreciate that you are responding.

Yes he has. Let him keep doing what he's doing. We don't need to revert to the KW philosophy.

Are you trolling me with this comment?

 

What would you have done differently, you know, if you were the GM of a team that just won the 2005 WS? Trade all the good players in their primes and rebuild?

[GreenSox]

I was agreeing with you

I like what Hahn has done.

I did not like what Williams did from 2009-2012, basically since the Quentin trade.

a statement was made about what can be done differently. this is not a response

to anyone in particular but it was / is a great question.

 

the sox won the WS in 05. the honeymoon was there. but nothing positive was

happening.

 

1. what was going on??

 

it was a this time that the rebuild should have happen. whether it was 2010-2011

+/- a yr.

 

someone can look at this and say hind-sight and the answer is yes it is. but if i

can see this when i was really sick at the time, then someone else should have

see it.

 

2. would a better GM or a skilled one should have done something.

 

3. with all the BS that happen during that time diverted the energy at the time.
