紅襪下一步 - 美國職棒

Bora$表示Ellsbury想留在紅襪。Good.

不過你要拿出足夠的誠(ㄇㄟˇ)意(ㄐㄧㄣ)出來，因為他是難得一見的明星球員。

http://t.co/z9jMKpOs Alex Speier談8BV

這位四面楚歌的8BV在壓力之下已經開始倒行逆施了：

1. Podsednik排三番(Pods生涯首度排三番)，8BV說

"Just a mistake," Valentine said in response to his deployment of Podsednik.
"Is that what it says on the lineup? What the (expletive)? Switch it up. Who
knows? Maybe it will look good. I haven’t seen it."

而且，身為一名正常的總教練應該提早好幾小時看看球員是否能上場，但他卻在比賽開始
前不到三小時內才到

2. 惡搞Aceves，他在禁賽之後的四場(五天)內投了143球

作者Speier形容這是用「中世紀的懲罰方法」來懲罰Aceves犯的錯

(同時，剛傷癒復出的富丘在第六局暖身，竟然等到第八局才上來，無視他的健康狀況)

3. 要Salty違反不成文規定用觸擊打破無安打，賽後8BV說"Who cares."
(8BV用“Who cares?”回答很多問題...)

8BV以前的最大優點是他短期內可以拯救營運不善的球隊，現在看起來五個月後不僅沒有
改善還阻礙球隊前進─而且蠻嚴重的。

08/06 John Henry寄了一封Email:

“To blame Bobby Valentine for the Red Sox being .500 at this point in the
season is simply wrong. A lot has been written about injuries to key players
this year. The impact of that on the Sox this year should not be discounted,”
Henry wrote almost four weeks ago. "In baseball, managers often get too much
credit and too much blame for what happens on the field. That seems to be a
constant. There is often the thought in organizations, 'This isn't working so
the manager needs to go.' But an organization is much more than the field
manager. We all share responsibility for the success and failure of the
Boston Red Sox. We are not making a change in manager.

"There has been no lack of effort from our players and we have had a number
of them playing hurt. I watch every game and the effort our players put in
right after night is very clear to see,” he continued. "In regard to the
notion that we have somehow not empowered Bobby, you should ask him directly
about that. We have been nothing but supportive of him inside and outside the
clubhouse. Stories that imply otherwise are due to speculation that is not
warranted at all by the facts.”

這時沒說要炒他─但文章並無指出「他做的很好」，而是你不能完全歸罪在他身上

今天Tom Werner受Boston Globe訪問：

談Ben Cherington在紅襪的未來：“We give him high marks in how he’s dealt with
the challenges this season, and he’s going to be with us for a long time,”
Werner told the Globe.


談8BV:

“I don’t really want to get into that today,” Werner said in the same
story. “I don’t want to talk too much about him. But he’s had a
challenging year. I think, as we’ve said before, he’s doing a good job.”

被問到2013會不會留8BV：

“I don’t really want to go there,” Werner said. “I think we all thought we
’d bounce back more this year.”

不難看出差異吧科科

=====

至於8BV方面就是之前講的：「我的合約有兩年。」

=====

紅襪去年的決定非常的傷，跳過了Dale Sveum，選擇一位不合這裡的人。

=====

那麼，沒人想回應8BV去留，不就很明顯了？如果要做出改變，還在等什麼？

這段時間先使用代理教練(如bench coach Tim Bogar)，並且在FO與老闆間取得共識開始
面談，如果要John Farrell就趕快炒掉8BV，不然會一邊談條件一邊弄8BV的事。

畢竟，紅襪需要長一點的時間來重整陣容與適應人事地震的影響。

=====

Ben Cherington在之前做的決定就是要讓紅襪重新來過，不管是明年還是未來皆然。

如果8BV不是未來的拼圖，硬要留下來是不合理的行為。

==============================================================================

簡單幫這篇文章取重點：

要換快換。


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

當然也要平衡報導一下 http://t.co/YDLO1a5q

Jen Slothower認為改變需要時間，也許8BV去除那些球員後，帶領新團隊會有好表現。

展現疲態則是因為球季的糟糕結果和一些衰事造成的；這段期間也難以展現出他以往的魔
法。(也就是不能用接下來幾週來評斷他的能力，以往的球季也是)

如果8BV離開也不能說這是敲起8BV當總教練的喪鐘。
