redsox.com: BOSTON -- Within the first few seconds of his opening news conference as manager of the Red Sox on Thursday, Bobby Valentine half-kiddingly looked for a teleprompter before he started talking.
But as much as he enjoyed the work he did for ESPN the last two baseball seasons, Valentine was all too happy to trade in his microphone for a Red Sox uniform that has No. 25 on the back of it.
For a man who has been absorbed with baseball for virtually his entire life, it was notable just how visibly exuberant Valentine was to accept his new post, which includes a two-year contract with options for 2014 and '15.
Jasper's thoughts: I think that the Red Sox should have looked around a little bit more before deciding on Valentine.
