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.
