Sox Hire "Mystery Man" Pitching Coach
It just gets weirder. In a WEEI interview today, Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine announced that the team has hired a pitching coach—but they're not saying who that is. Hey, what's your problem? Just guess, OK? The rationale for the mystery is that a contract has not been finalized. Both Neil Allen and Brad Arnsberg have been mentioned as candidates. But, we'll just have to wait until Christmas to unwrap our new coach! In the meantime, the Nationals are apparently about to get Gio Gonzalez, the Rangers are getting Andrew Bailey and Beltran may be headed to the Cardinals. Who, us, negative? Nah.
