His family lives out that way, so I am happy for anyone improving their work-life balance.
But yeah, ugh.

Well, that's not good. I thought they basically gave him a lifetime job. So much for that.

Raise your hand if you're glad Dave Dombrowski isn't involved with replacing Bannister.

With the way baseball has become, I'm sure there's a slew of people that have learned exactly what he does by now and Bloom will find another. Probably the same thing goes with JDM's hitting coaching. It's not a mysterious magical power. People just need an open mind and the ability to learn and change to become as good as them. |

So my suggestion earlier to steal/hire and promote Strom, the Houston pitcher whisperer earlier this off-season, may now have some validity?

The Spinners game I got to speak with him will probably be my favorite minor league game ever attended. Happy for him and his family but really sad to see him leave the Sox.

People come and go all the time. A measure of how good he is will be what he left behind for his successor. It sounds as if the infrastructure is in place so there's a solid foundation. Let's see who carries the water from here on out.
