I'm told he's a genius

Should someone named Cash be on a team with a larger payroll?
 
 
But really, he's been in scouting for 1 year, in coaching for 2 (bullpen coach, too, not a bench coach). They couldn't get someone with more experience?
 
Francona must have pull in St. Pete or something.

If I'm a minor manager with a lot of experience I'm pissed. I guess those guys are seen as losers now?

So, I guess Gump won't be backing up Christian this year.

So more experienced than Mike Matheny?

Point conceded.
 
But at least MM had 5x the playing experience and the priceless pigeonpoop experience.

From the time I got to spend around Kevin Cash when he was with the Red Sox, there was no doubt he was future manager material. Francona was a huge fan.

Well, Cash had more experience sitting on benches, so he may be a bit more comfortable than Matheny in his first season.

“@bradfo: Cash was being strongly considered to be Red Sox bench coach if Lovullo left earlier this offseason”

No, he was applying for the manager position. They ordered him a complete set of home whites and everything.

No, he was applying for the Rays' manager position, so...

So I guess Dave Martinez will be working somewhere else next year. He must feel spurned.

Cubs hired Martinez as bench coach

I'm hoping this means the Rays will have a starting rotation of all knuckleballers.
