Bobby Valentine congédié par les Red Sox

Une saison particulièrement pénible pour l'équipe et les partisans. je croyais que Valentine saurait motiver les joueurs pour une saison ou deux, mais il a créé plus de remous et de controverses que de motivation...

 "Valentine’s brief tenure was marked by confrontations with members of his coaching staff, including the bench coach, Tim Bogar; the pitching coach, Bob McClure; and key players. In April he questioned Kevin Youkilis’s physical and emotional commitment to the game in a television interview, and although he apologized, the effects lingered until well after Youkilis was traded to the Chicago White Sox on June 24."
