Views from the bridge

Theo Epstein revisited his "bridge" comment a few months back to the Herald on Saturday. After the myriad of conversations we've had here recently, I felt the timing of his bridge wrap-up after the past few (excellent) signings was quite poignant.

“What I meant was, we’ve been a good team,” Epstein said yesterday after the press conference to announce the signing of third baseman Adrian Beltre. “We’ve been to the playoffs six out of seven years, we’ve won 95 games six out of seven years, and I know we’re going to be good when projecting into the future. The building blocks are in place to have a really strong foundation going forward starting in a couple of years.”
