WTF That is a joke No coach should get less than 3 years Even for the Red Sox I would have told em to go screw themselves and enjoy my TV gigs That is an insult and is no way to get the players to respect the manager given the short term. And that team needs somebody to take charge. I gotta believe they have somebody else they have in line for the 2013 and they just want Valentine to be a bastard and get the troops under control. But that is as usual just my opinion
