Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine has banned alcohol from the team's clubhouse, making the Red Sox the 19th team in the major leagues to prohibit drinking. "The rules are not to embarrass themselves or the team, the community, their teammates," Valentine said. "I don't think that's a new rule. That's a longstanding rule of life. There's no beer in the clubhouse and no beer on the last leg of road trips."

Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said he plans on putting the players through a rigorous spring training camp this year to prepare them for the start of the season. "It's because there's a lot of lazy people in the game today," Valentine said. "There can't be enough. Everyone says (spring training) is too long. I think that's baloney. To get guys really ready, I think everyone's working the deadline to get a starter with 30 innings and five (starts). The numbers just don't compute."
