Bobby Valentine instated a new rule for the Red Sox clubhouse this season: No beer in the clubhouse or on the last leg of charter flights. It’s a rule that Valentine has always had as a manager (except his days in Texas).
“I’m comfortable with it that way,” he said.
When asked how that was receiver, Valentine joked, “you mean like standing ovation or booing?”
I'm fine with it, do I think that this a little over the top? Yes, But after last year and with the players acting like children, they should be approached like children this year. So I'm in big favor of Bobby V laying down the law and probably pissing off your Becketts, Youkilis' and Lester's.
Last year Beckett, Lester, Lackey caused the Red Sox to lose and for them to be out of the playoffs. And although Lackey, may never get the opportunity to prove himself, there are big years coming for Josh and Jon.
I don't know about Beckett because I could see him clashing with Bobby V, but I'm expecting Lester to bounce back and win the public back, because I don't see him as a diva. The Red Sox are going to have to battle with NY, Tampa and Toronto, so they can't afford any of last years bullshit.
