This article is silly. You can’t even look at just the 25 man roster because Cherington’s biggest contracts can’t even hack it in the major league at the moment — Castillo and Sandoval. Credit to the Red Sox and their talent development. From an exec standpoint, Cherington is nothing to write home about and I’m not going to credit him. I’ll credit the players and staff who have toughed through his bad trades and contracts and followed the process together to get the team back on it’s feet.

Ben made the worst decisions ive seen in a long time.
He didnt push to resign Lester and let Lackey go also and Andrew miller.We got E-Rod for him but in the off season we couldve signed him and didnt.
He signed the biggest bum free agent Fatblo knowing he had a eating problem and didnt like working out.
First of all the young talent on this team has nothing to do with him.He didnt draft any of em.
Plus wasnt he who got Farrell?Yes it was.
We shouldve signed Joe Madden he is an outstanding coach and wouldve been perfect for this team.

Cherington was a player-development guy, and his greatest successes are the homegrown players like Betts, Bogaerts, Bradley, etc. When it came to acquiring players from OTHER organizations, however, he had some major failures that added unproductive, expensive veterans to the roster. I don’t believe he had nearly the autonomy that Theo had, or that DD currently commands. I suspect Larrry Lucchino kept him on a pretty short leash.
