Can't find much else. His playing career topped out at AA. Can any of you closet Sox fans get on this?

Is he nothing more than the man of color in a parade of white? , I'd hate to think that he is but well he might be.

[Frayed Knot]

Hope his middle name isn't Thomas.

Maybe he is, but a high-rolling organization has given him some jobs that are more than just window dressing.

He would be the first Mets manager with no big-league playing experience.

It's DeThomas.

[Theoldmole]

Yeah, I checked -- Salty Parker had 11 games in the bigs.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That's funny... I checked that too! Those games came in 1936 with the Tigers.

This dude from the Boston Globe makes him sound like a pretty ideal fit, take that as you may:
