Francona to Manage the Boston Red Sox?
So it looks like Francona will manage the Boston Red Sox. I bet you bean town is excited. Here are some things Boston can expect from Francona:
  • Francona likes to sit his best players on Sundays. Especially when it's a giveaway day! On a Scott Rolen T-Shirt day in 2000, Rolen sat on the bench.
  • Francona averaged 71 wins with the Phillies in his four years of managing. A team that Bowa a year later took to second place and 2 games out of first, faltered at 65-97 his worst record in his 4 year tenure. (Stats: Baseball-Reference.com)
  • And you can always look to spell Johnny Damon with Michael Jordan who Francona coached in Double A
  • And finally if you think Little not taking out Pedro hurt you... Francona probably single handedly caused Schilling's injuries by allowing him to pitch 140 to 150 pitches a game!! From 1997 to 1999 Schilling 116 pitches per game started. His time in AZ? From 2001 to 2003? 104.7/GS. That's PER GAME STARTED!!! Have fun Bean Town! (Stats: ESPN.Com)
