Bobby Valentine to Manage Red Sox

Bobby Valentine was named the new Boston Red Sox Manger yesterday afternooon replacing Terry Francona. Bobby Valentine won a Japan Series in the 90's, and is most recently known for managing the New York Mets. Valentine led the Mets to the World Series in 2001, winning the pennant over the St. Louis Cardinals. I think that this is either going to be a home run type of hire, or an epic failure. Valentine is known by his collegues to be very smart and an intense person. If he can regain control of the clubhouse in Boston, there is no question that this team can succeed. I mean, they have a ridiculous amount of talent left over from the Theo Epstein era, so this is not the same situation that he (Valentine) was in when he took over the New York Mets. Adrian Gonzalez will make sure that this team doesn't fall apart like they did last season. Having Bobby Valentine at the helm doesn't hurt either.
