Jenny Dell Is Reportedly NESN's New Heidi

Multiple reports suggest that Tom Werner (who, don't forget, gave us Roseanne Barr) has picked Heidi Watney's replacement. Word is that ESPN's Jenny Dell is NESN's choice to be the new Red Sox on-field reporter. Chances are these reports are correct, since all of Dell's reporting videos have been yanked off ESPN. This decision, of course, runs afoul of our readers' choice of Kelly Malone—who is both competent and local.

Honestly, we know nothing of Ms. Dell (pictured here at Fenway in 2010)—except that football, not baseball, appears to be her main gig. Maybe we're jumping the gun, but this decision seems to fit with all the other ones made by the NOG this off-season.
