This is not written in defense of Cafardo, (even though it will sound like it) but from the viewpoint of (against my better judgment) reading this thread every week.
Instead of picking apart his column every week, how about those of you spending so much time posting your reactions give us a weekly taste of your own thoughts about the state of the Red Sox and issues in and around baseball? We could call it something like "Instead of reading Nick Cafardo this week, read this."
Now, obviously, Cafardo's critics here aren't likely to have the sources he does (unnamed or otherwise), so your weekly pieces will have to rely on what you gather from other media, presented from your own points of view. That's fine; many of us would like to read what you have to say.
So, how about it? Instead of measuring who's been more critical of the guy than other posters have, show us what you have to offer.
That's like saying, 'Instead of critiquing Adrian Beltre's defense, how about you get out there and show us how to back up plays, catch grounders, and turn double plays."
Carfado is a professional writer. There are tons of great writers on this site, but this thread is titled "take the buyout", so I believe it should be about critiquing Carfado, not trying to write a weekly tidbits column.
