I thought he was the best possible option. I also thought it was an extreme long shot.
Absolutely outstanding hire. I dreaded another first time manager or nepotism hire.
Hopefully this hire indicates that the team will be a bit more aggressive in filling the remaining holes they have in trades and free agency. I doubt Francona was going to risk tanking his HOF resume to take a job with an organization that wouldn't provide him with the parts he needs.
