Curt Schilling
Former Red Sox pitcher and current ESPN analyst Curt Schilling called into the Dennis & Callahan show on Thursday morning to discuss the Bobby Valentine hiring. While some in town were excited by the choice, Schilling said he was more surprised than anything that the Red Sox chose Valentine as their next manager.
“This one was just a stunning one for me,” Schilling said. “I didn’t see the fit. Personality-wise, Bobby’s a different bird. … He’s a different animal. He’s a smart guy. I had a chance to work with him this year at ESPN. He’s got some very interesting takes on managing. It just caught me off guard because when I think about the baseball ops people and what they want to do and how they want to do it here, I just didn’t see him being the guy that was on their list.”
Valentine is known as a manager who is not afraid to ruffle some feathers. While managing the Mets in 1999, Valentine was ejected from a game for arguing a catcher interference call, so he returned to the dugout later in the game in a fake mustache disguise. Valentine guided the Mets to some of their most successful seasons at the turn of the millenium. He was also responsible for an epic collapse in 2002 in which the Mets went 6-21 in August and 14-14 in September to finish last in the NL East. Valentine was fired after the season, and there were reports after the collapse of inappropriate behavior in the clubhouse during the season, something that may currently be too familiar to Red Sox fans.
Schilling said that while he was encouraged by Valentine’s proven ability to handle a big market in New York, he was concerned about the way Valentine’s career ended with the Mets.
“We all know that Boston is different than every place else,” Schilling said. “It’s not about just getting the team on the field and playing hard. There’s a lot of other things that come with managing here. I think Bobby is equipped to handle it. He’s done it in New York. But there’s a lot of questions around the fact that this is exactly why Bobby ended up leaving the Mets job. The thing that happened here this year happened in New York.
