If this means no more tweets about Boston's managerial search, I'm a happy man.

Always enjoyed Valentine. A very fun manager to watch as he always tries different things. Back in the 80's he had his pitchers throwing footballs regularly to try to strengthen their arms. He sent Bobby Witt (a pitcher) up to hit when the other team had a hitter pitching in a blowout. Stuff like that just adds to the game imo.

I have been hearing about Valentine off and on for years.

Read that Bobby Valentine is getting a 2 year deal - if he wins, great - if he doesn't, in 2 years John Farrell contract is up - conspiracy?
