Worst record since 1965. 69-93. That is quite literally the worst season in my lifetime, and I am sure, most of you as well. While I suspect this thread will be more b!tching, I would like to see what you guys think we can do to fix the mess.
IMO, a massive cleanup of the front office is needed. If you are collecting a check now, you need to get your last check and clean your desk out. Larry, Bill James, Ben Cherington, Bobby V, all of 'em.
Players: If you aren't named Pedroia, Middlebrooks, or Bucholtz, you are on notice. I might give Cody Ross another shot. Other than that, they can all be out of here when camp opens in February. That includes Mr. Me First, David Ortiz.
It's probably a good thing I am not the owner/gm, because I'd be channeling Mitt Romney, signing checks while saying "I like to fire people".

A neutron bomb, build a new stadium, turn Fenway into the new 'New England Sports Museum'. Hire a young manager with passion to enstill that passion in the players and then develop and build.
I would not hold any players back, everyone is tradeable.. see what you can get...
Get rid of Luchino..
Start to rebuild, imo the slide began when Bard did not want to close and got his own way.. and instead of putting Middlebrooks in RF, they traded Youk because they did not have a position for him...
When that happened it was just a matter of time..
BTW Power Hitter Gonzalez wound up hitting 3 HR's for LAD, 297 average.. 22 RBI's and an OBP of .344.
Beckett was 2W and 3L....

time to go to work on the roster...starting with pitching. We need a couple pof quality starters to go with Lester, Buchholz, Lackey and Doubront. I am ok with guys who aren't big names, just solid guys who can actually pitch. I think that is where Tek will become useful right off the bat.
this is a big off season for cherington. his moves from last year didn't work out very well. i have my doubts about him.
I have no info to confirm this, but I think Cherington is just a puppet for Lucchino et al. I think if Larry told him to put the team in a bus and drive the bus into the Charles River, he would.
