Title: I wish The Bravos would hire Terry Francona Post by: WoodstockVol on October 04, 2011, 07:57:00 EDT I sure as hell wish My Bravos would hire Terry Francona! He would be a big step up at Manager and would energize the Braves fans(Maybe insuring more sellouts at Turner Field!).
Title: Re: I wish The Bravos would hire Terry Francona Post by: Black Diamond Vol on October 04, 2011, 08:12:58 EDT All things considered, I don't think Fredi did that bad of a job this year. Yes, the late collapse was bad, but it was pretty much inevitable when Jurrjens and Hanson went down. They finished the season with Hudson at #1, the rookie Beachy at #2, a parade of retreads and September callups at #'s 3 and 4, and a back hole at #5 with Lowe pretty much being a guaranteed loss. I doubt many other managers would've succeeded with that rotation. Fredi may or may not be the answer, but the jury is still out IMO.
