Bobby Valentine On Carl Crawford's Recovery
Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe got a hold of Bobby Valentine today down at spring training. Much of this piece has to do with Valentine's "rigorous camp," but there is a note in there about Carl Crawford worth sharing: "I wouldn't be surprised if Carl's a few weeks into the season before he's...
Bobby Valentine On The John Olerud-Rickey Henderson Rumor
I almost forgot about this, but at 9pm tonight the MLB Network is airing a new episode of Studio 42 with Bob Costas featuring an interview with Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine, during which Bobby V expounds on all things baseball. Of significance to Mets fans, he talks about losing Game 6 to the...
Jose Iglesias, Rey Ordonez, And Bobby Valentine
Yesterday at ESPN, Christina Kahrl asked if Jose Iglesias would be the next Rey Ordonez. Ordonez, if you recall, was a no-hit, all-glove shortstop who came to the majors in 1996 at the age of 25, and retired as a career .246/.289/.310 hitter in 2004 at the age of 33. It's a legitimate question,...
KO Goes for Bobby V Knockout
When I posted my story on the question of Bobby Valentine: True SABR?, I promised that would be my last Bobby V post for a very long time. AA colleague Chris McShane doubted my ability to make good on this promise; an obvious choice, in retrospect, because here we are. The reason I'm writing about...
Thoughts On Bobby Valentine, From Those Familiar
Bobby Valentine is the new manager of the Boston Red Sox. For some, this has caused a problem, as they think Valentine is the personification of old-school manager that Boston needed to avoid. There are some major issues with that thinking that need to be addressed, though. For one, Valentine has...
The Case for Bobby V
The Red Sox' offseason has been a turbulent one, as befits a team that committed one of the worst regular season collapses in baseball history. (Nearly as bad as...well, never mind.) Their curiously torturous managerial search is the latest example. You'd think there'd be no shortage of candidates...
Wire Taps: Jim Riggleman Resigns. John McLaren On Bench, But Who's The Washington Nationals' Next Skipper?
• ESPN.com's Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN), if he had to "bet the farm" as he put it on Twitter, would, "...bet that Davey Johnson will be the next manager of the Nats." "I'd put confidence level at 85-95 percent that Davey will be summer-long manager," Mr. Olney wrote later, "Same way I felt...
Let's Go to the Archives: Izzy's Last Win
Yesterday's 9-8 win over the Pirates contained two significant milestones for the Mets. The most obvious is that they overcame a 7-0 deficit, their second largest comeback in franchise history, and their biggest since the raucous, cathartic win of June 30, 2000, when they scored 10 runs in the...
Murray Chass's Valentines Day
When last we saw blogger Murray Chass, he was convinced that the new Mets front office was trying to pull a fast one over the fanbase by admitting it had payroll issues. (No, it doesn't make any sense.) But if there's anything Chass likes better than not making sense, it's settling personal scores....
