Native, seems you're right on the money with your recollections. I did some googling and found the articles describing how it went down.
1. Kelly Shoppach was the ghost-writer of the text messages sent to BoSox management via A Gonzales' phone (VERY manipulative).

and
2. Had clashed with Bobby V. earlier in the year regarding playing time:

So, given these two facts, it's not at all hard to see Shoppach being vocal about his unhappiness regarding playing time and being passed over by multiple rookies...
