I could end up being wrong, but I have a feeling that Bobby V may be the first manager we will see that actually uses correct sabermetric principles. I think that the only reason Boston would hire such a controversial manager is for that reason - they finally found a manager who is astute and progressive enough not to think that he knows everything about baseball and is willing to throw away half of what he thinks he knows. I have a feeling that he is going to work very closely with James, Tippett, and the rest of the Sox’ sabermetric department, and that we will see (or not see) things that we have never seen on a baseball field, other than fake noses and glasses…
