Larry Dierker seems like a good fit and choice for the Red Sox next manager.
Check out Rob Neyer’s article http://msn.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/neyer_rob/1577994.html
A couple of Dierker quotes from the article sound just like Theo and Henry:
• “…I also read a lot of the Bill James stuff, and so I learned what people who didn't have a personal investment in the game had to say about it."
• "It's not like we just quit, or we choked, or anything like that [in the playoffs with the Astros]. I regret that it happened, but I don't beat myself up over it. Your hitters get 30 or 40 at-bats, and they're facing the best pitchers. Four postseason series is like two weeks in the regular season, and anybody can go through a rough couple of weeks."
