I think Farrell is a good fit for the team.
You cant blame 2010 on Farrell, he was the pitching coach, For all we know that s*** might have been one of the reasons he decided to leave Boston rather than wait it out with Tito.
Farrell by all accounts, is a disciplinarian.....which is good, especially since he is not a smaller fragile guy like Tito. Farrell is a 6'4 220 pound dude, he is a presence.
Farrell would be a good fit. He knows the players, he knows the system. Dont blame Titos funhouse in 2010 and 2011 on Farrell.
