After word came out that Ruben Amaro’s agent was trying to shape him into a managerial candidate for some teams, a report came out today that he will be hired as the Red Sox first base coach. Maybe he just wanted to wear a uniform.
To go from having the most power in an organization to having close to the least is certainly a notable career trajectory. And really, how much damage could he do as first base coach?

Really, though. This is like going from the CEO to the mail-room supervisor, a job Amaro himself is hardly qualified for.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
