    How about letting Tek actually be a bench coach or AAA manager first?

    @JonHeyman
    Jason Varitek seems to be more willing to consider managing this time around. Beloved in Boston.

    I'm a huge Tek fan, but I question his readiness to be a manager.

    He may be the best we can find, at this point, and he'll likely just be an interim manager anyways, unless the team over achieves under him.

    The guy know baseball and knows the opposition very well.

    Why are they shooting for "interim manager?" Why not just get someone who can stick around?

    I do think a lot of people are ignoring Roenicke, who managed a low budget Milwaukee team to 335-313 record over 4 years. He might actually be a good choice. Certainly his experience is not bad at all...

    The only concern is "what if he's dragged into the investigation mess?"

    At that point, you move on. We don’t even know yet if there is a mess to drag anyone in to.

    It’s interesting that Roenicke is already implicated, and according to some, these scandals clearly involve upper management and ownership, which should implicate Tek. But going outside (where you really don’t know what the guy was doing) is how the Sox got into this mess.

    Just promote Roenicke and move on. He’s been around the league and even managed teams before without any cheating scandals...

    Yeah, that's when you'd just grab and older guy like Dusty and just train Varitek for the year.

    If Dusty is into it, I'd take him in a heartbeat. make VTek the bench coach and see what happens.

    I’ve mentioned Baker as a candidate. The problem with him is that his phone is ringing off the hook this past week...

    Not according to his most recent interview. He stated the Sox and Mets hadn't contacted him.

    JANUARY 19: To this point, neither the Mets nor the Red Sox have reached out to Baker to discuss their respective positions, he tells reporters, including Brian McTaggart of MLB.com (Twitter link). Baker will interview for the Astros’ managerial job tomorrow.

    Clearly the Mets dialed the wrong number. Later this week, expect them to announce their new manager Dusty Barker...
