He's done a terrific job from day one. Being the general manager of a baseball team is a very difficult job. Theo gives it everything he has in a very determined measure and selfless way. And he does it with great intelligence, discipline, honesty and humility. His record of results speaks for itself.

Despite the attempts of some to portray Theo's return as a win for someone and a loss for someone else, this is a win-win situation. As Theo said in his press conference on Nov. 2, and as we have all repeated, there never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry's role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has. This has never been an issue for us - only in the media.

I have certainly made mistakes in the past by not being more assertive when bumps in the road appeared. Larry, Theo and other managers in the organization do not need me in order to excel at what they do, but I have a responsibility to ensure that divergent views and our overall direction lead to a better and stronger organization. We've averaged winning more than 95 games a year since we purchased the club. We've listened to the fans and improved the fan experience greatly. We have provided excitement during the season as well as the off-season.

We work together as an organization damned well and have a strong sense of humor about much of what goes on around us - thankfully. The media has been in much more turmoil over the Red Sox than has been the case internally.

I would say that any documentation that a manufacturer provides for training is welcome, regardless of how it is supplied. My experience with operation manuals over the years has not been good. PMMI Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute has some good guidelines that I have used to write manuals for clients, both machine builders and end users. The problem is that few builders seem to be following them.

From our perspective, we want to support the baseball classic but it's actually a plus for us he's coming here on March 1 and not going there, but we haven't asked him not to play. I think it's going to work out very well.
