Baseball fans across the league have been piling onto the Boston Red Sox this offseason. The lack of innovation from the front office and ownership’s unwillingness to spend has resulted in a less-than-favorable offseason, far different from the one Red Sox Nation was promised.
Even famous baseball fans have taken jabs at the Red Sox, including former consultants of the organization.
Bill James is a baseball historian, author, sabermetrics pioneer and former advisor of many years to the Sox front office. James was frequently quiet about his part in the goings-on in Boston’s front office, but many suspect he played a part in the Sox’s acquisition of David Ortiz.
James is also the keeper of some controversial baseball opinions. Despite his belief that the players on any given team don’t drive the game of baseball,even James thinks Boston’s roster leaves something to be desired.
