When Bobby Valentine was hired to be the manager of the Red Sox, the thought was that it might work but could go horribly wrong. Guess which one happened.
After possibly the worst season the Red Sox have had in almost half a century with a record of 69-93, Bobby Valentine was fired from his position as manager of the team. The personality of Bobby V mixed with the struggling Boston team and the pressure of succeeding Terry Francona practically guaranteed that Bobby wasn't going to come back. Bobby had incident after incident from the Youkilis statement to his alienation of the coaching staff that rubbed everyone in Boston the wrong way. Seeing how everything turned out, this will probably be the last year we will see Bobby Valentine as a manager in the Majors.
Can we bring Tito back now?
The Red Sox now must find a new manager out there that can bring some semblance of order to the team. On top of that, they must move into rebuilding mode which means looking at the farm system and free agents. The big trade the team made in August frees up a bunch of finance space for the team but it's likely going to take a few seasons before the Red Sox start playing up to postseason standards once more.
