Sorry guys, I whiffed on being more timely with the trivia question. Got pretty busy these last few days. As has been ferreted out, Jason Varitek is the answer to:
If Billy Beane had ended up the general manager of the Red Sox, he would have made trading a specific player a priority, feeling he was wildly overrated. Theo Epstein felt the same way once he got the job, but had his mind quickly changed and did not make him a priority. Who was it?
I wonder why, though. Varitek’s always gotten on base and hit for good power and average. Maybe the perceived value was over his actual value? Anyways, Cait leaps into fifth place.
New trivia question!
Which six pitchers recorded 1,000 or more career strikeouts while pitching for the Red Sox?
It’s a six-parter question, so answer as many as you can and you will get .16 credit per person. Guesses are, of course, welcome.
HONOR CODE: Do anything EXCEPT use a search engine to search the trivia question or any variation thereof.
Winner (majority of the answer) gets to choose the next poll after today’s. Later today: New poll.
