Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said Wednesday that his spring training regimen has so far been met with some grumbling from players who aren't used to his more demanding style. "When I look at the program we devised, I don't think of it as tough. But it seems it's different because a lot of people are frowning. I just asked them to give (it) a few days," Valentine said, according to The Boston Globe. "We all know that no one likes change except for those who are making other people change of what that person want them to. I happen to be one of those guys who likes change because guys are doing what I want them to do. I would bet there will be 100 guys who won't really like it because it's change for them. But they'll get used to it." Red Sox workouts under former manager Terry Francona in recent seasons had been more lax. Valentine, meanwhile, has a reputation for pushing his players. In fact, Valentine wants to make the club's games against Northeastern and Boston College nine innings instead of seven and also wants to add a couple of games to the team's spring training schedule.
