Red Sox manager John Farrell has established a love-hate relationship with Red Sox fans and media. Nary has a day gone by when someone does not request his managerial head on a platter and toss in pitching coach Carl Willis to complete the task.
Few managers have longevity issues with one team. The Red Sox are certainly no exception as when problems surface with the performance it is far easier to fire the manager rather than 25 players. In some instances, the dismissal is completely justified and all one must do is point to 2012 and Bobby Valentine.
