outside of Mike Trout or even Mookie (and even then it's not very wise) I wouldn't let 1 player dictate the choice of manager.
It wouldn't be the worse thing to get a bad boy edge. Time to overtake Minny in the ALC and beyond.
First order of whatever new manager Sox hire should be to demand the reinstatement of the thunderstruck pregame video. This crime against humanity has gone on long enough.
