When Sullivan(?) started letting the the best go to save the $, I gave up...(Don the "mis-manager" didn't help either).

John Harrington is the slug you must have been thinking of. This talentless bumbler ingratiated himself to owner Jean Yawkey (widow of longtime owner Tom Yawkey) and had the keys to the team handed to him upon her death as a trust. Harrington was way over his head the entire time. It is good to have the team in competent hands once again.
