Valentine: Players are already "frowning"

Please give me your name.

But it is not your Valentine in my nickname is Bobby.

Well points for honesty Bobby Valentine not -- ID 37. WEEI because a lot of managers. Dressed up the first day our -- go -- great players are great. Love what I'm doing. They're all excited great first day here. Around the players yesterday of Fort Myers. -- chose the different route and that was all honesty. Bobby Valentine is put together a new program. Or get his players ready for spring training and it's certainly -- to the Red Sox. And yours is quote. While the program we devised I don't give it is tough. It seems different because a lot of people are frowning. I just asked them to give it a few days ballot -- and according to the Boston Globe we all know no one likes change except for those were making other people change. Of what that person wants them to do. I happen to one of the guys who like strange because guys are doing what I want them to do you and I bet their hundred guys who won't really like it because it's changed for them but they'll get used to it I circle back to his second line which was a lot of guys. Are frowning. Pretty honest approach. From Bobby Valentine basically say yeah I got some guys pissed off already about my new training regiment your spring training.

I think it might have more to do with the fact he wants to play more games. Not I'm always want those guys make the most part a lot of people last week it's time to go. You know it's time to get out of it now of the spring training always been always be for pitchers. Because there's a certain timetable that the difficult area through a couple of innings of work to pitch count up. I thought last year that didn't work up enough. Victim last last outing to a spring training you should be trying to get six out of the -- maybe even seven other guy depending on the ugly outing goes. I don't think that they were ready for that. But that is a timetable thing you're adding more spring training games got you play every single day you probably have two -- three split squad games anyways. There's a lot of games as a lot of games when it comes to plays -- doctors pitches either meet position players. You go that you worked absolute tail off in the offseason the least you should and most of them do all the do. When you show up. Yeah after the first couple days your body still react from that type -- work -- spikes. It throws to body awful lot that's a big difference in being in just you know sneakers and now you were spikes all day standing around. He's taken action taken a lot of ground balls maybe a little bit more than you were before probably a lot more. New body just reacts to see you need a little bit of that time it to add more games and doesn't make sense.

What if I want to what -- Bobby Valentine and only wants to add games part of march repeat. He wants to lengthen a couple games. So with Sony Pictures coming in for jobs the Red Sox need as many innings as they can get. He hopes to make the college games against Boston College in northeastern on March 3. Nine inning games. Instead of sat -- any games. -- watts that is telling you that there could be more split squad games are -- games played on the practice field. Abortion the pitchers the easier it's going to be -- we have. They can be played anywhere like the guys they have different uniforms on -- like the able seed if possible. Teams don't play enough B games anymore Lou has body down time a lot of guys are lazy in the game today they're camping -- Everyone says spring training is too long I think that's baloney. To get guys really ready -- everyone's working deadline to get it started thirty getting five starts the numbers just don't computes and adding games. He wants to lengthen those college games and mark.

bad idea and let's I agree with the whole lazy yeah -- a lot of people that are lazy -- why why -- really got to go nine innings in BC in northeastern. We will -- innings how important of those innings what you gonna give them. We wanna see Carlos Silva we wanna see him finish off a kid from BC in northeast and that's important for our valuation. That first game seven that first game should be for me after the first that -- to that went out of it anyways I mean nine Houdini to see you need NCAA guys go out there. There are invited to camp at all those that. One in 983 more two more innings. Three more innings whatever it's going to be just to see those guys throw Arafat they went on -- can't beat a BC. I'm like I know I seven's good. Okay seven as good -- got to get six innings out of my guys because you know what. We're playing games that matter tomorrow you know maybe they got Miami the next day and I don't wanna used nine pitchers. Because they're playing baseball the -- by the day before the play of the day after a couple days after -- either. A game as useless that game is. Useless it's a beautiful thank the nice thing BC kids northeastern. Lot of fun the game is fun to meet the guys -- before the game you talked dormant. It's it's just it's a fun game but there's no reason for playing nine. Zero. Now these pitchers here what I guess you're gonna look like -- to grab a guy -- Jimmy -- he's -- you -- you'd have probably there's probably 45 guys who might be competing for that last -- five or six would -- the last two. I think it's etched in stone on the part of -- you know Olympic it's a good possibility. Then when it's their data throw the -- have a little Begin a similar game in the back Carlos Silva faces five guys they don't need an entire another game. OK because -- start looking at bodies at all. This guy displayed yesterday at a wanna play another six innings today -- given day that would -- and it's just at spring training is what it is. Lot that last week camp they got an off day march 28. And they've six days ago that's need to rip it up six games in -- rocket pitchers hitters in the fortieth bats at whatever point five you good. To discuss -- rip up that last week and it's a need to last year.

He talked about the frowning you see you think it's more about that the schedule I think it's that. In reading can Bogart's comments yesterday -- rob Bradford and it is can be a lot of activity. Down there I think that these guys are used to specially over under Terry Francona because to a certain routine. They're out there half hour earlier they get thirteen times a half hour earlier they knew what they were gonna do Francona had it set in stone. I think it can be much more active camp this year I think for some of the -- that are used to Terry Francona it's gonna (%expletive) them off royally. They're gonna get down there and -- so you're already getting us this article very talented people are frowning about it.

It is you wanna play not in northeastern. Isn't it that two more games you play every single day down there. But as far as -- the world the new workout daily regiment. I I'd be shocked -- suggest every shot that made those guys they -- doing too much when -- were routed to loan. That's because as long as it moves. That's fine it's a standing around the tracks. He try to limit the stating around votes exactly -- computer PD yesterday. No problem with that that's great whatever -- digital version of the -- noise machine to sit at their Jack. That let's why don't sit there and check for forty minutes -- I'd rather be in the cage but I'd rather keep moving around I'd rather be in -- and just tracking pitchers from my from the guys strong bullpen. I don't think that's going to be an issue at all. Maybe the frowning as wanted to play against these guys it's an exhibition to scrimmage allowing an -- war began lot of unless the war games the schedule this year. Just don't don't add more Teamsters have -- Arabs in the game and Beck -- book or just the sky and -- throw more we gonna give Xilinx a.

It's richer and what was more important to a player to get a player rent is at -- practice session that we're talking about the body Valdez put together or is that the timing you get in games. What becomes more important is your preparation to get ready for the year games okay so what's the problem and games that while the B pistol but -- some -- and some -- If that's any games you play twentieth games already this ballot that that not enough. Fabulous lazy right now.

I disagree. And ended the laziness has nothing to do with how -- games you play you play every damn day would you want to play double -- be more prepared shore. You also might have a little more nagging injuries coming out of camp. -- revenue it up being ready to go in the last week ten days in and position players do any of the players get plenty of pitchers. Those -- the guys need to work. You know Ali what -- have Josh records are thrown every for the fifth they can't get over third -- you -- get more work and physically can't do that big guy's gonna get hurt. Schedules were set for years to say thank you play 28 games in thirty days to three of split squads he played 32 games in 2830 days.

My motto is do your best and you'll always succeed.

Hard work out stuff is good I think it's -- the game was gonna bitch about. The schedule. Some of a couple of -- he's gonna complain to me to -- throughout the regular thirty runs in to what Richard. -- all but two pitchers and have a curricula to Alaska when I get credit for being honest Manny could put a nice smile on the stands -- these great guys -- instead. He uses the word phrase a lot of people are frowning. I just asked him to give it a few days and that they wanna camp he's already admitting -- guys generally like the weights go -- want to air that out so some modesty out of the gate. From Bobby Valentine at spring training ease off of its mother stuff including some injury get into that gym is in Dorchester waiting patiently would not loaded jam.

look at the gym and Taylor has -- at what point does this season does. -- guys like Lester of buckle from trade date. Probably not never. Because of the salary -- because disagree on the futures. -- good would it want to restrict the remote site on March.

Veto he didn't when it it'll be to win a Cy Young should be traded. -- Danica at what if you know a year old not a not matter now are you get a great deal a great deal -- the Jon Lester clay buckle and it curriculum -- of.

I mean I know -- Considering that the Middle -- baseball. We're look at that and you know normally you don't but 3030 -- old --

Oh okay over six years. Five years with the big deal for years.

That and let the good paycheck outbreak.

No way -- for you in -- a bargain basement to a five year thirty million dollar deal is got a thirteen million dollar team option. For 2014. That is east deal GM no way is he overpaid the end or you may be a down year by his standards but -- why would you think about. At this point trading Jon Lester given and his contract is so team friendly.

That apparently appeared. You get younger talent and a -- a little -- here.

A pleasure Lester too -- the innings guy in that rotation and it was replacing Jon Lester. Jim could cut Jim you've got one of the best lefties in the game okay. -- have four or five perhaps six million dollars what why don't understand why try to trade him. The other important. While completely pleased on that list he -- sabathia and -- pretty -- credit where you're electric. Vehicle. You -- with colonialism is wandering the trip. Food and fuel three you'll wait 191 last year 16151915. Wins what is the prop what. I put Jerry with -- it was that she knows about your friend and yet all the loses got a call to make a dumb statement about Jon Lester on the -- and it is that what happened Jim just let us now. -- You stupid little it was this.

When it to the minute wait for -- watch another show -- I take that call was what I agree with what what it to him and before. When it -- the minimum wins jobless or should have the caller says oh yeah we could. Q -- for baseball season -- at you know lot. That I should called you know that's a perfect got a call baseball field. Like a leadoff spot like yeah right -- Comcast not. Like 903 when he does go to first caller. You got there is a regular he's he's good because every week -- forget his name -- the terrible job and make. But this guys that should be your new regular gym in Dorchester rate Jon Lester should be -- million dollars a year let's go straight to him. Get a couple prospects and -- someone for twenty million. It's -- 6177790. Late fifty -- 38885250850. But I hope that that's not our best baseball called the day. Where -- right back to your baseball call again in ninety seconds. -- bring up something new set at dinner last night for the Celtics that. As my eyebrow raised about this Red Sox team will do that and get your calls -- I might be a craft.
