ESPN.com is reporting the the Sox will officially announce Bobby Valentine as their next manager is a press conference Thursday. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed. Valentine should fit right in with the Red Sox soap opera as he is a bit of a drama queen himself.
No, not for the Red Sox. Valentine's personality will clash with the other personalities in the clubhouse. Francona was a perfect fit because he's a low-key type of guy who was content to stay in the background and tend to the mechanics of managing the team. Valentine will wind up hogging the spotlight and I don't think that will fit very well in Boston.
