    Of all the guys we were rumored to be looking at, he was the best. Let's hope he can get the most out of all the young guys.

    Definitely get rid of the hitting instructor. A few others as well. I think the pitching coaching was good but Francona may want his own guy

    I know J.R. House. He's not a bad guy. Followed him all through high school. A lot of the problems with everyone is the strange belief installed on everybody that these young players could do anything and being assertive. I doubt any coach will be back under Tito. He will want his own guys except for the pitching coach who is still under contract, but it is to be determined. I think you will see a better attitude from everyone, but you never know.

    MLB used to have a rule that teams weren't allowed to make announcements like this until after the World Series

    I think since all the first round play was finished, they could do it on an off day like this.
