Valentine Not a Popular Choice in Boston

The Boston Red Sox hired former Mets manager Bobby Valentine as their next head coach on Tuesday and already the Red Sox players are complaining.  Its now Wednesday, the day after.  Some players supposedly were told the team would not hire Valentine, but they did anyway.  One reason for the uproar is most likely due to the fact that Valentine is quite the contrast of coachs compared to Terry Francona (fired at the end of the season).  Francona was know to be a "players coach" and never really disiplined his players too much.  Valentine on the other hand is a hard nosed tell it how it is kind of coach.  In the past, he has used the media to call out multiple players.  I think this was a good hire, the Red Sox could use a little disipline especially after the beer drinking and chicken eating during a game incident that occured this season.  I'm just not so sure how much the players will like it.
