Message: [QUOTE="tentoes4rings, post: 2718197, member: 754"] Good point about Cherington. I think Ben's problem was he was so close to the kids that it would have hurt him to deal them away. He preferred to go the free agent route and struck out mightily with the Sandoval deal, Justin Masterson etc... Also, two key members of this year's team, Porcello and Hanley looked like huge mistakes as well in year one. With Hanley playing well this year, Porcello pitching well overall and Ben's guys like Devers being solid contributors, his fingerprints left on this team don't look that bad after all. [/QUOTE]
