1. Dale Sams Posted: September 02, 2012 at 02:53 AM (#4224934)As a Red Sox fan, I find that news pretty annoying, too.
The humane thing to do would be to let Valentine go now. He's clearly not coming back next season and he's lost a clubhouse he's never had. I feel bad for the guy. Well, sort of.
Ha.
Aceves has officially joined Red Sox Nation.
But seriously...when since the 40's...has a manager been told "Get the #### out of here, don't touch me. Go away, the adults are talking here."
Aceves usually seems cool as a hothouse cucumber, so for him to react that way is pretty revealing.
Knowing the appetite of the media for controversy, I'm surprised that I can't say that I've ever seen such an obvious display of distaste from a player toward his manager. Well, except for that time that Tomo Okha refused to hand over the ball on the mound to Frank Robinson.
And as for V, I was always a fan, but he never should have taken that job. The last coaches that were that bad a fit were Tarkanian with the Spurs and Petrino with the Falcons.
The Yanks let Aceves go because he missed most of 2010 with a back injury that he wouldn't rehab, and then broke his shoulder in a bike accident and was projected to miss the first two months of 2011. It seemed like there may have been some willful miscommunication about the injuries on his part. There was definitely more than a hint of fed-up-with-this in Cashman's comments at the time of the non-tender. He's a pretty good reliever, but probably not good enough to get away with being insubordinate.
