BenCher has had a rough start to his tenure as Red Sox GM. Facing major holes at manager, right field and in the rotation—he's done virtually nothing to date. And looming over his shoulder is the ominous presence of Sith Lord Lucchino ready to sap his powers. Now, according to SI's Jon Heyman, the managerial hire may be the first major test of BenCher's power (or lack of it). According to Heyman, Valentine is the choice of ownership (and, of course, the Sith Lord), while Cherington was highly impressed by Lamont and wants to hire him. Fasten your seat belts.
