The redsox met with Gene Lamont today, concluding their first round of interviews, as Lauber writes. GM Ben Cherington said of his interviewees: "All five of those guys, I can envision hiring to manage the Red Sox. We

Gosh some reason I think Lamont does get hired by the red sux.

Apparently Gene-o got reviewed for 8 hours today.

via Matt Mowrey on twitter: "So Gene Lamont interviewed with the BoSox today for eight hours? Wonder why so long, unless Geno was testing out the 'STOP' sign ..."

I thought Sveum would get it. He's had 2 interviews with BOS and the Cubs. Chi made an offer, but Boston has not. The Sox job is a disaster waiting to happen for any person...Where's Billy Martin when you need him? haha

They have a lot of talent. I think it's more like a no-lose opportunity. The pub around that team is so bad that if a manager fails, he can blame it on the culture and if he succeeds then he's a genius. I have no doubt that it is a high stress job, but I don't see it as a career killer. Tito will get another job easily.

Sveum went to the cubs.

bobby valentine and Lamont still lead in the running with another one or two they are or might have a second interview with.

 

[spockmaster]

c'mon boston, take him off our hands!!!

 

[stonecold2136]

Lamont is the leading candidate for the Boston job. We should hear something announced soon

 

[bavarianinnman]

lol wow come on boston.

I would love to see you hire lamon and see him take mcclendon with him.

Lamont gets a second interview tuesday. but valentine looks like the leading candidate. Announcement after Thanksgiving.

So if Lamont gets hired and takes McClendon, would it be possible Leyland hires worse coaches?

The Red Sox interviewed Bobby Valentine for their managerial opening earlier in the week and Tigers third base coach Gene Lamont and Blue Jays first base coach Torey Lovullo remain in the mix for the position. Here's the latest on Boston's search:

The team won't settle anything today or over the weekend, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe. Abraham reports that Lamont met with ownership earlier this week. Meanwhile, Valentine is "really excited" about the idea of managing in Boston, but hasn't communicated with the team since Monday, according to Abraham.

The Red Sox don't have plans to conduct further interviews with Lovullo or other candidates, according to Alex Speier of WEEI.com. It appears that Lamont and Valentine are the finalists for the position.

ESPN.com's Buster Olney suggests Red Sox president Larry Lucchino has more sway with GM Ben Cherington than he did with Theo Epstein. Lucchino is Valentine's "patron saint" in the Red Sox organization, Olney writes.

More than 70% of respondents expect Valentine to manage in Boston, according to a recent MLBTR poll.

Good luck, Geno!

Good luck, Geno!

seconded times a million!

 

[kalinecountry]

The search is down to two finalists according to John Tomase of The Boston Herald: Bobby Valentine and Tigers' third base coach Gene Lamont. Blue Jays' first base coach Torey Lovullo is out of the running.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Personally, in case the Boston GM is reading this, I rather have Lamont as manager than Valentine.
