So if the Red Sox players actually want him out, why, wonders Michael Felger, is Bobby Valentine still "sucking up" to them?
"Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez have tried to get him fired, whether they said the words in the meeting or not," Felger said to Sean McAdam Thursday on 'Felger & Mazz', later continuing: "So what does Bobby V. do here in the last couple of days since the story came out? He lays a kiss on Dustin Pedroia in the dugout . . .
"It just makes him look like a doormat . . . Everyone will respect him more if he just gives them the high hat. Ignored them."
