Sox to interview former A;s coach Curt Young for pitching coach--he's the
favorite

BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox intend to interview Curt Young, who just cut
ties with the Oakland Athletics after seven years as pitching coach, a club
source told ESPNBoston.com.
He would appear to fit the profile of what the Sox are seeking in a
replacement for John Farrell. Manager Terry Francona was with Oakland as
bench coach in 2003, when Young was a minor league pitching coach and was
promoted to the big leagues as pitching coach just days after Francona was
hired as Red Sox manager. Francona's familiarity with Farrell as a former
teammate and from working together in the front office in Cleveland was a big
factor in Farrell's hiring by the Red Sox prior to the 2007 season.
Farrell was announeced as the new manager of the Blue Jays on Monday.
While signs point to Young as the front-runner, a source said the Red Sox
plan on interviewing other candidates as well before making a final decision.
However, Young may know something others don't as he has informed people
around him that he is taking the job with the Red Sox, sources told ESPN The
Magazine's Buster Olney on Monday.
Young, 50, served under two managers in Oakland, Ken Macha and Bob Geren, and
compiled an impressive resume. Despite having the youngest staff in the
league in 2010 (average age: 26), the Athletics finished first in the AL with
a 3.58 ERA. In his seven seasons, the Athletics finished lower than fourth in
ERA just once in Young's tenure. Oakland's home ballpark and its huge foul
territory is a factor, but the Athletics still finished first this past
season in ERA-plus, a statistic adjusted to home field.
Mark Mulder, Tim Hudson, Justin Duchscherer, Barry Zito, Dan Haren, Andrew
Bailey and Trevor Cahill have all been All-Stars during Young's tenure, with
Bailey winning AL Rookie of the Year in 2009 as the team's closer.
Right-hander Cahill (4th) and left-hander Gio Gonzalez (eighth) both finished
in the top 10 in ERA and won 18 and 15 games, respectively.
Young, who has been with the Athletics as a player or coach for the better
part of 27 years, left of his own volition, turning down what was termed a
substantial raise. The Athletics only offered a one-year deal, however, which
may have been a factor. Geren has just one year left on his contract.
"This came as a complete shock," Oakland pitcher Dallas Braden, who threw a
perfect game last season, told the San Francisco Chronicle. "He's been that
accessible, everyone's favorite-uncle figure, a guiding light for us. He
taught me how to study within the game, what to look for. He always
understood my role and put me in the best position to succeed."
Other candidates on the Red Sox radar include Mike Cather, who was Portland's
pitching coach for three seasons (2007-09) before becoming a major league
advance scout for the Sox this past season. Cather, who turns 40 on Dec. 17,
is highly regarded by the team, but one club source questioned whether he is
ready.
