I have been waiting and watching -- hoping that the Red Sox would hire a worthy manager, get the off-season in gear and satisfy all of us diehard Sox fans who are attempting to put 2011 in the rearview mirror. But every time I think I am over it, the Sox organization's inactivity just *Pacino voice* pulls me back in!
What in the world is going on? Today in the Boston Globe, Dan Shaughnessy speculates that GM Ben Cherington wants Gene Lamont (Tigers' third base coach) and CEO Larry Lucchino wants Bobby Valentine to be the next Sox manager -- and that rift in power is causing this painstaking delay in decision making. Honestly, let's just hire Valentine and be done with it. Lucchino should just make the decision. What is Cherington going to do about it? Quit? They can sort out their differences later. We all know Bobby V. is more than capable of managing the Sox. I think his baseball tenure and experience will instantly draw the respect of the players. And after weeks of interviewing no-names, did we really think Red Sox brass would let our team be run by an unknown?
I throw my hands in the air and pray this gets resolved soon. Not for them, but for us. Have they forgotten so soon they they let US down this past September? And so far, nothing has changed.
