I think you need to go with Francona here. While his success did not come with the same recipe as is available here (the cookbook for “Winning With no Talent” is very thin), you need to respect that success, and I think we need some experience for what will be a very young team. I would love to see Sandy continue to be groomed to take over the head job – my only concern is someone else will hire him away before we’re ready.

The way it feels now for Alomar is the way a top college quarterback feels when they get drafted by the Browns. You gotta take it but you know “there goes the career”

I would not hire Francona if it meant taking one cent away from the player payroll. Players win games far more than managers do, and Alomar can handle the lineup and the pitching changes just fine. We need good players, not an expensive manager running a 4A lineup of utility infielders.
