Generalissimo Francisco Franco (pictured here) is still dead—and the Red Sox still don't have a manager. As the estimable Alex Speier of WEEI.com points out, 'Indecision 2011' does not necessarily speak badly of BenCher, the new GM. As much as we all want to point to the overbearing presence of Larry Luchhino in the process, Cherington has a history of deliberate accomplishments (particularly in the Sox minor league system) and survival (he was hired by Dan Duquette, not the NOG).Nevertheless, you do get the sense that things are passing the Red Sox by—they still have huge issues to address after the white smoke rises from Yawkey Way and Bobby V. gets anointed. They need a closer, two starters and a right fielder. And maybe even a shortstop. Oh, and they have to pull the trigger on Ortiz (one way or the other). Yikes. Get it going, BenCher!
