why do you need someone to manage your socks - i mean ok putting red socks in the laundry causes everything to go pink - but a manager.
then again - i would happily manage your socks - if i was good at it - may be you'd put me in charge of your whole wardrobe

I don't think he's going to manage Pawtucket, I read he was going to start out in A-Ball, and try to work his way up. I hope he's a better manager than a player, because after a good first couple of years, his career really sucked. He was also a flop in Japan.
I see you gave me a thumbs down, but it's true. Gabe Kapler totally SUCKED, yeah he did, really. 31 years old now and washed up, done. "Gabe the Babe" HA!! A lot of good that did him. A-Rod is the same age, and he's headed to the Hall of Fame. Yeah, Gabe has a ring, but he was just a back-up scrub player on the '04 team, he didn't mean much. Enjoy your time managing in the minors Gabe, it's too bad your career didn't amount to much.

I would prefer Arnold Horseshack. On a serious note, I think he will be a good manager. From hearing his interviews, he understands the game. He is a great team player. He understands the importance of getting along with others. I think he could be a good teacher. He can handle pressure. He did well enough in the big leagues that he will have a little bit of credibility. He is smart and well spoken. He does well with the press. He has all of the tools to be a good manager. But, how do you ever know if someone will succeed as a manager until they have the opportunity.

Im pretty excited. Im a die hard Red Sox fan and I live 45 minutes from where he will manage. I hope he does ok, but I'm a little concerned because he has played under francona who I do not believe is good at all. He does lack experience but I think he has a strong voice and will make an impact.

I am not a Red Sox fan. I don't think Kapler could manage. He doesn't have enough experience.

This is the first I heard of this. I thought Terry Francona was still the manager. As for Kapler, he was an OK player, but don't know how he would do as skipper.

He has yet to prove himself as a money ballplayer.
