It's tough to have a guy like KW across town. I don't even know if he's "good," but he has bigger cajones than just about any GM in the game. And the Sox do seem to contend almost every year.
If he were GMing for any other team than the Sox (or Cards/Brewers/Astros) I'd kind of enjoy watching him work, with his relentless nature, and pedal-to-the-metal, balls-out style.
Silver lining: the chances he's taking are so wild, that there is a perfectly solid possibility that one or more of his gambles could blow up in his face. So, we can hope.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
