Bobby Valentine's Chiba Lotte Marines, the 2005 Japan League champions, were hit hardest by the WBC hangover. Eight players on Valentine's 30-man roster played in the WBC. Two of the club's best hitters, Tsuyoshi Nishioka and Toshiaki Imae, got off to poor starts. Submariner Shunsuke Watanabe, who posted a 1.98 ERA in 13 [fraction two-third] innings at the WBC, is struggling to get his ERA under 5.00.
Theres already plenty of speculation in the blogosphere about who will be the next manager of the Seattle Mariners, but much of the chat is centered on Bobby Valentine. The 60-year-old Valentine is a former manager of the Rangers, Mets and Chiba Lotte Marines (in Japan). Valentine managed the Mets to the 2000 World Series. Interestingly, he finished his career as a utility player in Seattle in 1979.
In a roster move that's sure to cause a stir in Long Island's high-tech hot-stove league, Manchester Technologies Inc. has lost to free agency a brilliant, high-strung strategist who led the New York Mets to the World Series in 2000. But Manchester also gained an industry heavyweight with a web of big-league contacts in business and academia. Gone is Robert John Bobby Valentine, 52, the former baseball player and manager who resigned from Manchester's board after agreeing to manage the Lotte Marines in Japan. At Manchester, Valentine rose from sports-celebrity spokesman to outspoken board member.

NEW HAVEN -- The theme of the symposium centered around whether "sports builds character or reveals character flaws," but for two hours at Southern Connecticut State University Friday, a couple hundred students were treated to the Bobby Valentine variety show. The program, to pump up support and interest for Southern's young sports management program, touched on topics from overbearing parents to the role of coaches and sports organizers, and dealing with sports-related pressure. But let's face it. Bobby Valentine talking about Manny Ramirez, Bobby Bonds, Roger Clemens, Jackie Robinson and tangents of everything baseball, stole the day. Valentine, former manager of the New York Mets during a better time, a pre-Omar-in-charge time, said he was dismayed by hearing former teammates of Mann...
