Kenny is a pud! and the partners cant stand the guy. The fact he is the GM and cant say hello, smile and basically be friendly to some people is why he is being bumped upstairs. Remember the partners write the checks at the end of the year if the attendance is 26th in the league and the payroll is 5th! Not Jerry!
The rumor was out there to start the season that this would be his last year. A few Sox fans here even asked if I had heard it...
Leaving aside the chascappopian use of the English language, this would seem to make no sense.
As President he will have more interaction with the partners and non-baseball people who you indicate he can't get along with and don't like him.
He will have the same interaction with them....zero....he has a job because Jerry loves having him as his bulldog and taking the heat on issues....partners cant stand him and actually wanted him canned! Kenny will be the President because it appears like a promotion.
The GM's of teams like the Sox present scenarios/budgets each year to the controlling partners. Basically they state if we spend this (X) we will draw Y and make or lose Z..
