As if you need to read one more person's opinion about this guy. In short, I think he's the right hire for this team at this time. Who knows what the situation will be in 2-3 years but right now we need a presence like Bobby V's.
He's no nameless guy. He's no player's manager. He is his own man and he is a bigger "celebrity" than most MLB players. No one will walk over him and he'll happily call out anyone -- regardless of status or salary -- who gets out of line. And that, my friends, is what this team needs most. Order. Direction. Someone to draw a hard line and dare anyone to cross it.
There will be no more Wakefield quests for 200 wins; no more Big Papi interrupting press conferences; no more chicken & beer in the clubhouse. All the detestable, egotistical things our hometown boys did this year will end today. And for that we must be thankful. Because the only thing worse than rooting for a bunch of rich ballplayers is rooting for a bunch of lazy, selfish, rich ballplayers.
