I wouldn't be too upset, in my mind this shows that Ricketts is serious about his search for a stats guy and what not. I believe that we get out of this with a good GM regardless of who it is. I'm with rocket, and I'd be willing to bet most Boston fans already would like to find someone else. Think of how you'd feel if you knew your GM didn't want to be here anymore. I'd be thinking: get lost then. Don't want you around. Uhhh. He got them 6 playoff appearances and 2 World Championships after an 86 year drought, and never dared to fall below .500 in the tougest division in baseball. I'd be thinking: thanks for the memories, similar to how we treated Derrek Lee and other players that have served us well.
