If there’s one job that every sports fan wants but very few men can actually do, it’s that of a big league manager.

But even though making managerial decisions are mostly fantasy, fans have never been hesitant to unleash their ideas to the world.

Monday, in an article on Red Sox prospect Casey Kelly‘s development as both a pitcher and a shortstop, one reader suggested that the Red Sox adopt the philosophy of “two heads are better than one.”

“Kelley would be good for the Sox — he and Nick Green could take turns playing pitcher and shortstop.”

MLS players, take notice.
