Vee's GONE!
Well, the Sox didn't waste much time. News just flashed over the web--Valentine's been fired. It's only about five months too late.The first right move by the Sox in the off-season (should have been the post-season, but with the year the Hose had, off is the only thing they qualified for after the 162 games were done). No comments yet on who the successor might be, but the betting here is John Farrel, the Hose former pitching coach, who was excellent here and has good relationships with most of the veteran members of the team. If not him, I'd love to see Terry back, but realistically, that's so slim as to be non-existent. He's rumored to be going to Cleveland.
