Ron Roenicke to be named manager of the Red Sox

[jacksonianmarch]

MLBTR is breaking this news now. No official word. Surprised they didn’t wait til the punishment was levied. Heck, if RR is implicated, they might need a third manager this offseason

So we did get a manager before Betts was traded and the Iowa Caucases were decided? Crazy.

This has to be the strongest sign yet that they don't expect much if anything to come out of the sign-stealing investigation.

Story coming soon at http://BostonGlobe.com:

Per a major league source, the #RedSox are planning to name bench coach Ron Roenicke as manager but are waiting for MLB to conclude its investigation into the 2018 team before making an announcement.

So you have concluded Graterol cannot pitch as a starter based on one inning and a few occasional highlights, and you have already concluded the Red Sox are guilty.

Do you make any decisions based on so little evidence? Do you also ignore a preponderance of evidence if it is wearing pinstripes?

While I agree we should wait to see what evidence is produced to come to a decision it just feels like to me if there was no evidence of wrongdoing by the Sox then the investigation would have already ended.

But that's just my opinion.

Do we know it hasn't?

I can't.

I can't.

Due diligence + snowball's chance in hell.

[mvp 78]

My due diligence was having him in the same division for a few years and realizing he's crap.

The best thing about John Gibbons is that Shea Hillenbrand tried to strangle him...

That was also the only good thing Shea ever did.
