Must have a few 12 year old kids on the team

We fired Huntington and replaced him with his step-brother.
Note to Ben. The team sucks, in part, because of the players who are on the team. Get rid of them, and you might have a good team someday.
And, you won't have that until your boss is willing to pay for better players.

We need to start with baby steps with Cherington. Instead of expecting him to acquire better players, [highlight]first we just need him to pick up the phone[/highlight] and talk to somebody instead of sitting there looking out his window.

Before he can pick up the phone he has to pull it out of where the sun doesn't shine, then sanitize it before he makes some calls! ;D ;D ;D

None of us, of course, knows how many other GMs Cherington has spoken to since November but here's how I imagine a typical telephone conversation would go:
OTHER GM: "Hello"?
BC: "Hi, Ed, it's Ben Cherington of the Pirates. Do you have a minute"?
OTHER GM: "Sure, Ben. What can I do for you"?
BC: "I thought we could talk about some ideas I have about some of your players and some of mine".
OTHER GM: "Alright. Can you tell me who you have available"?
BC: "Everyone".
OTHER GM: Can you tell me which of your guys I might have an interest in, who can help my ballclub win"?
BC: *Prolonged, uncomfortable silence*
OTHER GM: "Well, thanks for calling, Ben. Hope to see you at the Winter Meetings".
