Yo guys-
I have Red Sox idea and am looking for your take on it.
I think as soon as Jerry Remy retires ( I believe he’s been with NESN for at least 20 years now) the job is going to Lou Merloni as color announcer for the Sox on NESN.
Seems to me that Merloni has a lot of things going in his favor for the position: He’s a local guy, played for a while with the Red Sox, has a lot of commentator experience on WEEI and Comcast Sports New England, and above all seems to be a very well liked guy in the announcing/sports commentary arena.
To tell you a truth, I think he’s very similar to Remy in many professional aspects. Maybe he even one ups Remy as he seems to be a little more “professional skill” when it comes to Sox reporting and sports commentary.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens once Remy retires.
Do you guys have a take?

I’d expect Remy to remain with the sox maybe another 2-3 years. After that, Merloni will get his job likely alongside with Don Orsillo
