Matt Clement Thankful Theo Didn't Quit Last Year

At least one player is publicly thanking Theo Epstein for all he did:

BOSTON--After Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein announced his resignation on Monday, at least one player on the team took the time to thank him for his years of service. That player? Pitcher Matt Clement, who credits Epstein with somehow getting him a $25 million contract, even though he had a career record of 69-75.

Speaking by phone from his home in Florida, Clement called Epstein “a genius.”

Heh heh.
