This is the best full team that they've had going forward in quite awhile and much of that is because of the manager position. Not only is Bell gone . . . but he's replaced with someone that knows the game inside and out. Tied for 13th with Casey Stengal in all-time wins with 1,905 and he's 16th all-time in games managed with 3,532, only 4 behind 15th place Lou Piniella.*

Agree,
I'm anxious to see what a difference having a true mgr. vs. a computer numbers guy makes? And I don't at all like a lot of the changes to the game. I enjoy "small ball" the hit and run, stealing bases, bunts, get em on get em over get em in. 
The HR or strikeout game is even more boring that regular baseball and it sucks!! Hopefully Francona can get them to come around to more "team play".
