Chaim Bloom is in charge of the Boston Red Sox organization, which includes the Major League team. His plan seems to bolster the minor leagues (good!) but he seems to be ignoring or at the very least not have a good plan for the ML roster for three out of four seasons. This is a problem because their team is bad and boring and just not very fun to watch. We can talk all day about how revenues will decrease (maybe?) but at the end of the day, I'm sure it's not going to really hurt Henry's bottom line. The Sox are a money making machine and that's not going to change anytime soon and when the Sox are good, I'm sure those fans that left will come back.I'm not punting--or not punting--a season. I am watching how the Red Sox have proceeded and saying, "It's obvious what they are up to." To my reading, your post indicates that you do not support thir plan. And what I'm saying is, that's fine! But it's absurd (in the absurdist sense of things, not in the judgemental sense of things) to evaluate Bloom based upon how he's executing a plan others want him to pursue rather than on how he's executing the plan he is actually pursuing.
So the question is, who cares? Well, I for one, care. I like when the Red Sox are good. I like when the Red Sox are competitive when it comes to signing free agents. I like when the Red Sox have a smart, imaginative GM who can bring in players that are overlooked by other organizations. I understand that not every player is a good guy--and at the end of the day, it probably doesn't matter too much--but I also like when the Sox don't antagonize their fan base by promoting bigotted shitheads. In the last four years, the Sox seems to have done a lot of things wrong and when you've gotten used to a franchise that (mostly) does things the "right way", it sucks when they bumblefuck their way through another season all while the owners sit in their boxes saying nothing.
