Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 2367039, member: 7631"] I too think Farrell should have gone middle of last year. But I place the blame this year solidly on upper management -- Farrell didn't have a whole helluvalot to work with.. They'd known for a year before Ortiz retired that he'd be gone -- they had a year to get a power hitter signed, but they didn't get the job done. They seem to have no regard whatsoever for team chemistry. Panda was a bad signing. Hanley was a bad signing. Something north of $100 million pissed away. It might be different if either were good for chemistry, but neither is/was worth a damn in the locker room. They've got a good nucleus of players in the outfield; guys who seem to enjoy themselves. Build on that. [/QUOTE]
