    Who was the most disliked Red Sox player acquisition ever? AT THE TIME OF ACQUISITION

    YES!!! I'd totally forgotten about how much I hated it at the time. Then I grew to love him.

    Who will be the next manager?

    Does anyone have insight on why Demarlo Hale is not a major league manager right now? He always seemed to have what it took from the outside, was always mentioned as a possibility, always seemed to be interviewed, but...

    Marrero traded to ARI
