When the Sox win two World Series in three years I'll buy your argument.
Also nice of you to ignore the other point that whatever way you go or even if you decide to try both approaches like the Giants, you have to have the people who can actually make good decisions pulling the strings. The Sox have tried "both" approaches the last six years. How has it worked out eh? Thought so. Lip |

They just got lucky and had a few things go right and it worked. What people don't like to admit about baseball is that, at the front office level, it's more or less 99% luck. But either way, thinking that you have to go one or the other route is just stupid. The Royals have been rebuilding through their farm system for almost 20 years. How has that worked, eh? Thought so.

With Detroit's window wide open currently it would behoove the Sox to sit back, build up the minors a bit and wait patiently for there own opportunity. As much as everyone would like to competitive each and every year it's not always feasible. |

Exactly. Or else you've got the same folks making the same mistakes that got you into the mess in the first place. Whichever direction is chosen, I agree, it's hard to think the current folks will get it right. New people are needed with no ties to the Sox or JR to look at things from a different perspective.

I think there is some 'luck' involved from time to time that's the random nature of things but I agree with your statement overall...luck, as Branch Rickey said, is the residue of design. Or put another way, you makeyour own luck as many successful people seem to believe. Getting talent and developing it are probably the biggest factors, be that at the minor league or major league level. There's no one way to get talent but ultimately talent is what drives the engine.

No, it's not. It's a whole lot of steps and luck plays a factor in it but it goes way beyond luck. Kenny Williams might have been operating on the "it's just luck!" philosophy the past few years which is why we are in the mess we are in but other organizations aren't.
