Pros -
Since his reign started in 1998, he has four championships and has missed the playoffs only twice.
Cons -
He's one one ring since 2000 while spending 2.6 trillion.
3 of his rings were largely due to the foundation left behind by Bob Watson and Gene Michael
His minor league system has been a major disappointment, in part due to his refusal to make tough decisions on letting FA's go (the exact opposite of Theo Epstein who horded 1st round picks this way) or due to him constantly signing big name FA's, causing him to lose their top draft picks
He is on the verge of probably missing the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row and 3rd time in 7 years.
He is constantly signing ex-red Sox players including Johnny Damon 14 months after his game 7 heroics in 2004 that shook a fanbase so hard it registered on the Richter scale
He was involved in a messy mistress incident that embarrassed himself and the entire organization. Especially when he was asking certain players on the Red Sox to sign a baseball that he eventually gave to his mistress.
