Hey Red Sox fans, do you think Terry Francona is the right man to lead the Red Sox in the 2004 season? His hiring was just confirmed!

Love it!

Have always had great respect for Terry. A buddy of mine played minor league ball with Terry and speaks the world of him. A real players manager, but isnt afraid to lay down the law.

Curt Schilling has immense respect for him and was one of the main reasons, if not the MAIN reason he choose to come to Boston.

Strut - I saw his father, Tito Francona, play many games for the Indians. He was one of my favorites!

 

LOL All I can say is be prepared...no offense to you Fish I'm sure personally he's a great guy. He's not a leader IMHO and I will leave it at that!

Huge Sox fan live in Philly. Everyone here is telling me Francona blows as a manager. Doesn't matter to me. With the team lined up for next year, as long as he knows to pull Pedro at the appropriate time, I'm happy. Next year is the year...really.

Schilling likes him real well and my guess is Sox hired Francona to ensure deal for Schilling went thru.

Just hope he can manage.
