As misterrob said, Theo would have voted against the deal for Beckett if he’d been employed as GM. The Beckett deal was all Larry Lucchino. He championed it and got it approved by John Henry over the objections of other Sox executives. Theo didn’t like to trade away talented Sox minor leaguers. That’s why he did the Schilling deal— we gave up lower tier guys for him and not top guys like Sanchez and Ramirez.
Ramirez will be an All Star but Beckett and Lowell will likely win us a World Series and as a fan that’s what matters. Having seen the futility of the Sox over the years in winning it all this deal will have to be remebered as what made it happen along with a good couple of drafts that gave us Papelbon, Ellsbury and Pedroia.
Any word on when the WS parade might be held?
