[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1222844, member: 527609"] Trust but verify. It wasn't blind faith in the Red Sox miracle, nor seeing the team suddenly win a ton of games last year that made Theo like my favorite person in the world. The three years of work that went into that were a symphony of rebuilding as they happened. Move after move after move just adding little bits of marginal value, brick by brick. And they have said publicly, time and time again that building long term success is the goal because no matter how dominant a single season team you can build, the playoffs are a Russian Roulette crapshoot. They clearly get it. So why this move that barely budges the needle of their chances to win the WS? I'm just bummed out by this whole thing. [/QUOTE]
