John Henry is alll about stats. He got rich playing the futures market numbers.
He is a known fantasy geek who hired the best stat guy in the business
Bill James.
John Henry's favorite player is Arod because of his fantasy numbers.
This has been confirmed by Gammons, Buckley and Mazerotti.
He also was the guy who went to Theo about David Ortiz.
Theo was busy chasing Jeremy Giambi.
Right and how have those fantasy stats played out during the postseason? Last year he was 4 of 15 with 1 HR and 1 RBI and 2 BB.
Your criticism of Theo is ridiculous and you have yet to make a coherent argument supporting your beliefs.
Trading for Beckett must have been John Henry's call as well. Or how about trading for Schilling or not giving into Pedro, or drafting Papelbon, Pedroia, Lester, Buckholtz, Ramirez, Ellsbury the list goes on. Trading Garciaparra and ultimatley bringing in the pieces for the championship. Was Henry's fantasy playing responsible for all of that as well?
I didn't like the Drew signing and still don't. Is he perfect? Nope, but he is among the best in the league, especially at aquiring good young talent.
