Beat me to it. I'm excited a winning manager is taking over. It's going to be interesting to see how he uses the positions players, the decisions he makes in game, and I am really interested in how he handles the pitchers.

For sure

I'd venture to say we'll see significant changes to the batting order and positions people are playing. I really am excited to see what we can do with a kick butt and take names guy leading the team.

I read that Francona will hold players responsible, well isn’t that a breathe of fresh air. When was the last time any player was held responsible to play the game it’s supposed to be played like. Like, bunt, advance the runner, hit the other way, base running blunders, miscommunication on defense, throwing strikes instead of walking batters to put the tying or winning runs in base.

Let’s see if he puts the hammer down to the players?
