Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3239526, member: 652"] John Henry did nothing. The team was horribly managed under the Yawkey family and then Harrington led Yawkey group. MLB gave Henry the Red Sox because they didn't want Jim Dolan's brother owning the team. MLB forced John Henry to add Larry Lucchino to the group. Lucchino was chosen because Selig wanted the Red Sox to be run better. Lucchino wasn't who Henry wanted but Henry/Warner got control of the franchise because they agreed. Lucchino became the team President. Lucchino hired Theo Epstein. The success isn't because of John Henry. Henry pushed Lucchino out for Sam Kennedy his puppet. The 2004 championship core was put in place by Dan Duquette. John Henry isn't why the team has won. The resources from the market and good GMs. [/QUOTE]
