Sox pitching coach John Farrell unable to manage in 2010

Written on September 27th, 2009 by Evan Brunell51601 Commenthttp://firebrandal.com/2009/09/27/sox-pitching-coach-john-farrell-unable-to-manage-in-2010.htmlSox+pitching+coach+John+Farrell+unable+to+manage+in+20102009-09-28+00%3A21%3A04Evan+Brunell

Well, some good news after a dreary weekend. John Farrell is reportedly unable to take a managerial job until after 2010. While it’s not in doubt Farrell will one day manage — and/or be a general manager — having Farrell around for at least one more year will prove crucial, especially as this offseason figures to be a watershed one for the franchise.
