    The Boston Red Sox Monday, March 12, 2018 * The Boston Globe Red Sox bench players have a chance to step up Peter Abraham FORT MYERS, Fla. — Marwin Gonzalez started games at five positions for the World Series champion Houston Astros last season. But to call him a bench player would be inaccurate. Gonzalez started 120 games, had 515 plate appearances, and finished fifth on the team with 4.3 WAR. That left a deep impression on Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who was Houston’s bench coach. He often talked to manager A.J. Hinch about how best to use Gonzalez to benefit other players on the roster. With Gonzalez as an option, Hinch was able to give Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, and other regulars extra days off. “Marwin, for me, he was the MVP of that team and that coaching staff,” Cora said Sunday. “That’s the way I see it. It’s an extra starter that you have, another card that you can use on a regular basis.” Now Cora is looking for his own version of Gonzalez, a super utility player who is essentially a starter. He wants to feel comfortable resting his starters with an eye on the postseason. Ideally, that player would be Eduardo Nunez over the long run. The infielder gave the Red Sox an offensive spark last season as a second baseman, shortstop, and third baseman. But Nunez will be starting at second base when the season begins, as Dustin Pedroia continues to recover from knee surgery. That could last two months into the season.

    1 L’Italia del Baseball che non si arrende: vince 10 a 9 contro il Messico, il sanremese Liddi tra i protagonisti di Www.fibs.it – 10 Marzo 2017 – 10:34 L’Italia ripresenta ai tifosi messicani lo stesso incubo di 4 anni fa, anzi, peggiore. Perché questa volta gli Azzurri soffrono tutta la gara, inseguono e pareggiano per venire puntualmente ricacciati indietro, ma al nono inning, ultima spiaggia, sotto 5-9, confezionano un’impresa ancora più grande, ottenuta con l’apporto fondamentale di giocatori fino a quel momento seduti a guardare i compagni giocare. Sette turni perfetti, di cuore e cervello, creano i 5 punti che servono per vincere 10-9, senza subire nemmeno un eliminato. C’è una bella folla emozionata quando gli speaker dello Stadio Charros di Jalisco, in spagnolo e in inglese, danno il via alla cerimonia d’apertura del Girone D del World Baseball Classic: banda militare schierata nei box dei suggeritori, bandieroni delle 4 squadre coinvolte nel gruppo, cartelli con le lettere a comporre il nome della manifestazione, giovani portabandiera e, a squadre schierate gli inni nazionali. Un’emozione troppo forte per la ragazza che sorregge la bandiera del Venezuela, che si accascia in diamante e giocatori e pubblico vivono la surreale esperienza del dubbio se continuare a cantare mentre lo staff medico dell’organizzazione si prodiga in cure, i fuochi Riviera24 - 1 / 3 - 29.09.2021 2 artificiali scoppiano, i palloncini volano.

Since then, San Diego has cycled through a dozen different hitting coaches, three managers (plus Pat Murphy’s interim stint), four general managers and three ownership groups. Hired the year before Petco Park opened, Balsley has somehow survived all the upheaval, providing one constant in a sea of change. He’s almost as much a fixture of San Diego Padres baseball as the ballpark where the team plays.</span> What makes Balsley’s run so impressive is the tenuous nature of his position. In sports, coaches are hired to be fired. They’re often first in line to take the blame for subpar performance, getting pink-slipped as those in higher positions — and the players — are shielded from an initial purge.

    MEDIA CLIPS – Nov. 7, 2018 Bridich praises Black's influence on Rockies Skipper named finalist for 2018 NL Manager of Year Award Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Nov. 6th, 2018 DENVER -- Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said Tuesday manager Bud Black was the right guy at the right time for a team that had struggled with the pitching puzzle throughout its existence. Bridich, during the General Managers Meetings in Carlsbad, Calif., praised Black, who was named one of three finalists for the National League Manager of the Year Award after leading the Rockies to an unprecedented second straight postseason appearance in his two years in charge. The Rockies had devoted many of their Drafts and trades to building young starting-pitching depth. Black, who pitched 15 seasons in the Majors, replaced Walt Weiss after the 2016 season, and has reached the postseason with a mostly young rotation. In 2018, Rockies pitchers -- led by 17-game winner Kyle Freeland -- accomplished the most strikeouts (1,409) and lowest opposing batting average (.250) in club history. In an era when the first-time manager is en vogue, Black came to the Rockies after managing the Padres from 2007-15. "He was the right man, well-timed for the job at hand," Bridich said. "Whatever happened in San Diego in all those years there, the experience, perspective and everything that he's about, was exactly what he needed. The timing, what we could potentially do as a team, as an organization at the Major League level, putting him in as the manager, has ended up igniting a positive or codifying a message.

  • The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, April 26, 2011 * the Boston Globe
    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, April 26, 2011 * The Boston Globe Catcher was receptive Peter Abraham Jason Varitek reached the height of his professional success in 2007. The Red Sox won their second World Series in four years and he was at the center of it all as the catcher and team captain. Life was a series of champagne celebrations and adulation. But Varitek‘s joy was tempered with the knowledge that his marriage of nearly 13 years was coming to an end. ―You could see it in his eyes that he wasn‘t getting much sleep,‘‘ teammate Josh Beckett said. ―Those were some rough days for him.‘‘ It was only the beginning of what Varitek now calls ―a time of transition‘‘ in his personal and professional life. He filed for divorce 10 months after the Series, then lost his job as the everyday catcher midway through the 2009 season when the Red Sox traded for Victor Martinez. In 2010, just as spring training was starting, Varitek learned that his father had lapsed into a coma and was near death. He rushed to Orlando and spent one agonizing afternoon searching for Joe Varitek‘s living will. ―Doctor‘s orders. My dad had put it somewhere and I spent hours trying to find it,‘‘ Varitek said. ―It was probably the most difficult thing I‘ve ever had to do.‘‘ His father pulled through.
