I have no idea as to how much he really helped us out but from what I hear this a big loss for us.

Tough loss. I wonder if Chad Epperson, the current ML catching coordinator, would be someone they consider as a replacement.

PeteAbe #RedSox will name a bullpen coach later today, John Farrell said. Chad Epperson appears to be the choice.

Got to say I like the choice. Watched him manage the JetHawks back in 2007-2008 and I thought then he'd have a future at the big league level someday. I liked his work with the players, the way he had them prepare for games and the way they played under his leadership. And he was fun to watch get up in an umpire's face!

My guess is that they like the work Epperson does as the catching coordinator too much to promote him out of that spot just yet. Maybe after he works with Swihart for a couple years...

Too bad Jason Varitek didn't take the job. Or perhaps it wasn't offered.

I remember when they drafted Levangie ... I used to clip the draft results out of the Globe, sort them by position and HS vs college and track them up the ladder. I was so sure Ryan McGuire would make it...and Bill Selby never got his shot in the majors.
