  "account": "After a tumultuous season, Boston Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow has responded to critics following the team's surprising playoff clincher. At one point this year, Breslow was presumed to be fired as the Red Sox struggled to begin the season. Now that Boston has secured a playoff spot, it seems Breslow will be safe in his job. However, critics remain, as they often do in sports. Breslow, though, now has more ammunition to defend himself against those who doubt his abilities.
