Peter Gammons likes him and several reports suggest that
Bob McClure will be the new Red Sox pitching coach. McClure pitched in the majors for 19 years, and has coached with a number of teams. He was pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals for six seasons. This is a long overdue move by Boston, since the most significant holes left on the 2012 team are pitching-related. Of course, this is not yet official, but needs to be consummated as soon as possible. What's the delay?
