I've decided that I'll watch live press conferences like the Sox had yesterday & then make up my own mind instead of listening to non-stop reporters tear every word apart. It reminded me of a Presidential address that the Republicans counter with their own response.
My thoughts are that I liked what I heard. Ben Cherington gave an excellent, off-the-cuff summary of the managerial search. Bobby Valentine gave excellent remarks about his feelings on becoming the new Sox manager. Both answered tough questions about the process & perceived shortcomings. In the end I was impressed with a line that Bobby V. gave to Dan Roach when he said we wants to build a team of excellence, not excellent players. I like the whole T-E-A-M theme.
As things move along, there will be plenty of time for Valentine to get to know his players before Spring Training begins. He & Cherington need to turn their attention to the upcoming managers meeting next week.
