| Torey Lovullo, Gene Lamont added to Red Sox managerial candidate pool | 11.08.11 at 5:51 pm ET |
The Red Sox have added a pair of candidates with team ties to their efforts to fill their managerial vacancy.
Blue Jays first base coach Torey Lovullo spent just one year in the Red Sox system, serving as the manager of Triple-A Pawtucket in 2010 after having spent eight years as a manager in the Indians organization. In that brief time with the Sox, he made a highly favorable impression on both players and members of the player development staff. While he has spent just one year coaching (and none managing) in the majors, the Sox will have him interview for the managerial vacancy on Friday.
This will be at least the fourth managerial interview for Lovullo. He interviewed with the Dodgers after the 2005 season (a job that went to ex-Sox manager Grady Little), the Pirates after the 2007 season and the Indians after the 2009 season. Lovullo spent parts of eight seasons playing in the majors, including time playing for Terry Francona in Philadelphia.
The Sox will also bring in veteran manager and coach Gene Lamont for an interview on Saturday. Lamont has been in pro ball for 47 years, and has been Detroit’s third base coach for the last six years. He has eight seasons of big league managerial experience on his resume, making him the first candidate whom the Sox are bringing in for an interview with a prior full-time job to his credit.
Lamont’s first managing stint came with the White Sox from 1992-95. He led the White Sox to an AL West title in 1993, then had the team in first place at the time of the season-ending strike in 1994. However, just over a month into the 1995 season, Lamont was fired after his team got off to an 11-20 start.
He was then hired by the Pirates in 1997, and spent four years in Pittsburgh. Though he finished below .500 in each of those years, he was not alone, as the Pirates have had losing records for 19 straight seasons. Indeed, under Lamont, the Pirates recorded their best two records (79-83 in 1997, 78-83 in 1999) since the 1992 season.
After he was fired by the Pirates, Lamont was hired as a third base coach by the Red Sox for the 2001 season before joining the Astros from the 2002-04 campaigns.
Lovullo and Lamont now join a pool that has five known candidates. Phillies bench coach Pete Mackanin and Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum interviewed in Boston last week, and Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. will be in Boston to talk to team officials on Wednesday. Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux, who had been scheduled to interview with the Sox on Tuesday, removed himself from the Sox’ search process, citing family reasons and a desire to remain closer to his Texas home than would be possible in Boston.
Former Red Sox manager Terry Francona, whose departure resulted in the current search process in Boston, interviewed for the manager’s job with Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt and GM John Mozeliak on Tuesday.
