Tek- special Assistant GM… molding him for future FO/GM work? o future Manager?

I was kinda hoping to see Tek as some coaching position within the organization, however I am definitely thrilled that he’s staying involved with the Red Sox.

Whoever said Varitek should be the next Red Sox manager just wants the beer and chicken back.

Who doesnt want the beer and chicken back? Heck they can have all the beer and chicken they want as long as they perform well…I always liked the way Terry Francona handled the team and I hope that kind of style comes back. A manager needs to be a friend of the players but also respected, Bobby Valentine is neither.

Here’s hoping for a quick recovery for Dusty.

He can always start in the office and end up a manager. Fine with me, as long as he’s some way part of the rebuilding process. Tek has knowledge about a lot. And seriously… The chicken and beer stuff needs to go.

No way in hell should Tek be the next manager. He was the Capt when the Sox folded and all this chicken and beer stuff went down, and never provided any leadership or oversight. In other words, he sucked as a captain.

Were you saying that before last year? Probably not. It goes deeper than the Captain. He can only control so much. If he was part of it so be it, they ate chicken, drank (which I don’t agree with, but what’s done is done) lets move past it. He was well respected as the Captain. I think he did a phenomenal job his last few years after losing his starting job to V-Mart and then Salty took over. He was a solid back up that did what he had to do and performed well in that role and was always ready. Say what you want, but he was a solid captain.

Cherington hiring a body guard? If Veritek is being brought back for any other reason than to be coach of the catchers and coordinator of development for the catchers down on the farm, the Red Sox brass are wasting money again.

Berkman will be in Houston next year, watch. He is negotiating publicly for higher pay and to get his pal, Tim Bogar, into the fold as manager. Lets hope he is successful on both counts.

Stults couldn’t hold a rotation spot in Japan. Fact. I don’t think he is the answer outside of an enormous pitcher’s park. Strangely, he was a hot commodity before he signed with the Hiroshima Carp over there.
