Curt Young New BoSox Pitching Coach

Can Boston Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell ever be replaced? Well, the Boston powers-that-be think that former Oakland A's pitching coach Curt Young is right for the job. Here's the Boston skipper Tito Francona...

“We had internal and external candidates. Curt was the No. 1 choice. I just didn’t know if it was realistic.

And here's Curt Young...

“Knowing Terry, and the respect you have for him across the field, what a great job he does, it was definitely something that I could not pass on,’’ Young said.

I'll have much more on Young in tomorrow's post. Good luck, Curt. You have so many pitchers to work your magic with. Make it happen.
