Who cares if Ben Cherington had nothing to do with it, Ben Cherington is already proving he is the big dick on the block by disposing of John Lackey for a year. He's not even the GM for 2 minutes for getting rid of this D Bag. Skeptics will say that he had nothing to do with this, or this means we can't get rid of Lackey now, but who gives a fuck, there is no way John Lackey puts on a Red Sox uniform again, even when he is fully rehabbed. Cherington brings us a light in these dark time, brings us passion for the upcoming season, and most importantly brings us hope!
I know one thing from his press conference, we have the best GM in baseball. He told all the media, "Fuck yea I wanted Crawford and he's gonna be fucking sweet next year, calm the fuck down media and John Henry." and he pretty much was the reason we won championships in the past. Theo Epstein was the face, but Cherington was the brains of the GM position.
Cherington has some big tasks and positions to fill this offseason, with Dice K and Lackey gone, he needs to fill 2 out of the 5 spots. If I were Ben I would look for an Edwin Jackson and Mark Buerhle. I know those are names that won't wow you, but they are solid pitchers. I would flirt with bringing Erik Bedard back for a real short contract. Also he has the bullpen issue, I would leave Daniel Bard and Alfredo Aceves in their as they are way too important in their roles.
Who knows what he will do this off season, but I know one thing, I WILL NEVER DOUBT ANY MOVE HE MAKES FOR THE RED SOX!
Best GM in baseball!
