Red Sox Fire Bobby Valentine

By Mike Axisa | October 4, 2012 at 11:51am CDT

Manager Bobby Valentine will not return to the Red Sox next season, the team announced (on Twitter). GM Ben Cherington will lead the search for his replacement.

“This year’s won-loss record reflects a season of agony,” said Red Sox President/CEO Larry Lucchino in a release. “It begs for changes, some of which have already transpired. More will come. We are determined to fix that which is broken and return the Red Sox to the level of success we have experienced over the past decade."

Valentine led the Sox to a 69-93 record and a last place finish in his only season at the helm. His dismissal is not much of a surprise, especially in light of some of Cherington's recent comments. Valentine was under contract for next season at $2.5MM, which the team is still obligated to pay him.

        They also finally released a press release. Obviously they met with him in person, but we’re talking about professionals here. I think the announcement to the public should not have been by twitter. It’s not very professional in my opinion. And I’m a Sox fan and not much of a Bobby V fan. I think it would have been more appropriate to just do the press release and perhaps tweet the release so the fans could at least see more than just Bobby V won’t be back and Cherington (who everyone knows wouldn’t have hired him in the first place) is going to find his replacement.

          It’s a drastically efficient and dynamic medium for news sources to get news out quickly and efficiently, though. I’m not saying it itself is a news SOURCE (although it can be, and has been in emergency situations), but it’s a wonderful delivery method.

          He (Valentine) announced in his post game news conference that a meeting was going to occur between himself and ownership in boston today..

          I fully understand some (many) not knowing that there would be a face to face meeting, but please.. Everyone hammering them for not having one without the facts is yet again comical and normal here of ‘fans” not having a clue, yet acting like they know what is going on…

        Hmm.. I dunno. He was right about Bard having no business in the rotation. He was right about Middlebrooks being a better option than Youkilis. He wasn’t the one who traded Josh Reddick for Andrew Bailey. He wasn’t the one who traded away Scutaro and Lowrie.

        He can’t get in the box and hit more homers for Adrian Gonzalez. It wasn’t his fault Clay Bucholz was absolutely horrific to start the year.

        I guess you can blame him for Dustin Pedroia getting butt hurt, but I don’t take Pedey too seriously at all after the stunts he pulled this season.

          He didnt earn the respect of the players he’s supposed to be managing and made a bad situation worse by not being able to keep his mouth shut. (Calling out Youkilis, “Nice Inning Kid,” etc).

          For the Red Sox to improve, Bobby Valentine can’t be at the helm.

          Middlebrooks will sure look good when his horrid K/BB rate and .335 BABIP catches up to him.

        • redsox927

          10 years ago

          If you pick and choose your stats you can make Barry Bonds in his 40’s look league average… but looking at the entire picture i think it is safe to say that:
          He was not 100% ready for the big leagues (maybe 75 to 85% ready) but was forced into action as the team was in the thick of things at the time and helped keep the team “in the race” while he was there… He was hurt by a hit by pitch and at that time played approx 45% of a full MLB season.
          So lets play a little game of cat and mouse and say that he was on pace (based on a full season) to:
          -hit more than 30 HR
          -have more than 120RBI
          -4.5 WAR
          -.835 ops
          -the kid slugged .510 as a rookie (yes mike trout was better, but mike trout is probably the best rookie in baseball history) but that’s 30 points or so better than bryce harper and 60 points higher than jason heywards rookie season and a touch higher than Buster Posey’s rookie year.
          -had many clutch hits.
          take the pitch that broke his wrist out of the eqaution, (and Mel Ott, errr Mike Trout) and he’s the rookie of the year in the AL and probably a top 10 mvp candidate.

          I’m willing to be wrong, but we’ll see who’s right. I see Kevin Kouzmanoff 2.0.

        • withpower

          10 years ago

          Well, let’s say you’re right. Let’s say he’s Kevin Kouzmanoff 2.0.

          Kouzmanoff’s 4 years as an every day player netted him a line of .259/.303/.426/.728 with a OPS+ of 98 and an average of 19 HR while being an exceptional defensive 3B.

          In 2012 Youkilis put up a .235/.336/.409/.745, 19 HR and an OPS+ of 99 while being a not particularly good defensive 3B.

        • Chris_RG

          10 years ago

          Never said that Youkilis was better, but that Middlebrooks is probably not the future superstar 3B that Red Sox fans (and the media) think he is.

        • johnsilver

          10 years ago

          Exactly where in the media has middlebrooks been labeled as a future “superstar”? Not familiar with any media that has labeled him as such, even the biased NE Media.

          As for Youk being mentioned in another above post?? Youk NEVER was more than an average 1b, even in his 20’s and at the age of **33** with various injuries, he certainly isn’t.. He IS still a GG caliber 1b and even held the MLB all time record for consecutive games without an error record for awhile.

        • Robert Gaito

          10 years ago

          That’s a lot of ‘Ifs’. Seeing as we’ll never know what a whole rookie season of a healthy Middlebrooks would be, IF Mike Trout is out of the picture, you’ll probably be looking into the Oakland A’s for the ROY. Cespedes and Parker both turned in very very good rookie years, with much less protection around them.

        The brass didn’t listen to me. But that doesn’t change my mind at all. Bobby V. got a bum deal (I will concede of course that $5M is nothing to sneeze at for 8 months work). Cherington is way in over his head as a GM, IMHO. He has neither the baseball experience as a player nor the intellectual genius needed to serve as the Red Sox front line decision maker on team and player related matters. He is more responsible for the deterioration of the team’s chemistry than anyone with his poor selection of talent and his bureaucratic gamesmanship. He should be out the door but, perhaps, Lucchino, decided to keep the controversy as far down the food chain as he could. If Ben were to go, then he would be the next in line to be held accountable for the team’s abysmal performance. PYA is the name of the game everywhere.
        I don’t expect the media controversy to go away, nor do I expect the team’s fortunes to improve much in 2013. Everyone loves the duo of Lester and Buchholz and believes they will lead Red Sox Nation to the promised land but the won’t. Pedey is an untouchable, even though he hit .250 for most of the season. They have already paid $8M to a shortstop who will not hit his weight next season. The team has big, big holes in LF and 1st and a closer who cannot, it seems, go a month without injuring himself. Etc., etc., etc…. In short, if you think 2012 was bad, wait until next year.

    As a Yankee fan, I missed the rivalry over the last 2 years. Going to
    Fenway twice a year to catch a 3 game series just didn’t hold the same
    level of competitiveness and excitement it once did over the last 10-12
    years. Even we miss Tito…a class act who was always humble in winning
    and losing. I still think the beer & chicken thing was blown out of
    proportion and then to make the claims of Tito being addicted to
    something was a low brow move…whether true or not, he deserved way
    better on his way out the door. The guy did deliver 2 WS Championships
    for God’s sake! It’s almost like a bad Karma thing for management & the press dissing him.

    Bobby
    V is not a very likable guy…and its not that he’s an AH, he’s just
    got this way about him that makes him appear condescending. He didn’t
    make it this far in his career being a total jerk without any baseball
    knowledge…the guy truly is a student of the game. When he criticized
    Youk, he was just trying to light a fire under him to jump start the
    team and the clubhouse and press crucified him for it and it was a slow
    spiral down from there.

    I hope you guys get the magic back soon
    so we can pick up where we left off 2 years ago with this rivalry! There
    were some bad apples in that clubhouse…I hope they eradicate them and
    get back to baseball.

    This lies squarely on Bobby V despite so many saying it is not all his fault. No MLB (or minor league) manager can expect success when he wants the attention on him and not the team. From publicly running down players to the end (running down his own coaching staff publicly) he could never once take blame. He had to give it to others. The man cannot seriously look in a mirror and think this is not on him. This coming from an Angels fan who admittedly does not see many Sox games. But seeing all from here and other sites, reading what fans have said all season it just seems obvious Bobby V. is all about him and not his team.

    What pisses me off is Ron Washington had (a confirmed not just rumored) addiction, and just bec he was in the same clubhouse as a Player who had, he gets off and everyone forgives him. Tito, had a Rumored addiction, and it was (a small) part of him getting run out of town. A manager I remind you, that guided the Red Sox to not one, but Two World Series wins.

    Jacoby Ellsbury, John Lester, and Big Papi Ortiz would be excellent option for Seattle Mariners by acquiring them for Chone Figgins who would be sent to New York Mets for Jason Bay, either pitcher James Paxton or Danny Farqhar who was acquired in a trade from the Yankees for Ichiro, Outfielder Casper Wells or Travon Robinson, and catcher Miguel Olivo if he is not a free agent.

    I think that The Boston Red Soxs didn’t give Bobby V a chance to succeed. I think that Boston Owners deserve many losing seasons for firing a great man.

    Bobby Valentine is a horrible manager and it was a mistake to hire him. I’m glad he’s gone, unfortunately he’s left the destruction of a team in his wake.
