Pax gets so much power because like Robin he's a former player. I hate how Reinsdorf runs the Bulls, and it's the main reason I'm glad I'm not a Sox fan. It's odd I never became one because growing up my mom used to get tons of free Sox tickets, and I loved going to see Frank Thomas.
The Coop stuff is just odd because I understand he's good, but he appears to have an insane amount of power for a pitching coach.
Sox Team ERA year to year [Coop took over mid-02 so I didn't count it]
2003: 4.17 ERA (13th)
2004: 4.91 ERA (25th)
2005: 3.61 ERA (4th)
2006: 4.61 ERA (21st)
2007: 4.77 ERA (25th)
2008: 4.06 ERA (11th)
2009: 4.14 ERA (7th)
2010: 4.09 ERA (18th)
2011: 4.10 ERA (19th)
2012: 4.02 ERA (19th)
2013: 3.98 ERA (19th)
2014: 4.29 ERA (27th)
2015: 4.45 ERA (25th)
The Sox pitching staff has only finished in the top 10 twice. I understand there's been issues with the talent, ect. ect. but I'm just not sure the accolades warrant the power.
