GOODYEAR, Arizona – For the Guardians, the good news is Terry Francona is probably the healthiest he’s been in the last few years.as he seems fully recovered from hip replacement surgery and making progress from a staph infection in a toe which became a very serious situation.Then we began to talk baseball.Francona began to talk about his early career as a manager in Philadelphia , but realized those teams “had some older guys, some reclamation projects...”Bryan Shaw and Anthony Gose .
But Francona also was not able to finish the last two seasons due to health problems. He knows that needs to change this season.Chris Antonetti and Terry Francona watch batting practice on February 15, 2013 in Goodyear. It was their first season together in Cleveland.Guardians President Chris Antonetti has said several times the team does have room in its budget to add some veteran players. They tried to trade for Oakland first baseman Matt Olson and others. But no deals were made.
Cleveland has been trading veterans for prospects since 2018. The front office believes the farm system has been restocked and it’s time to check out the harvest.“As a manager, your job is to manage the team you have,” said Francona. “If you have a team of power hitters, it doesn’t make sense to run. If you’re young, there must be some patience.”“You can’t manage like you have a bunch of Michael Brantleys,” said Francona. “They know where to go and they know how to do it.
Francona and his coaches will need to teach and lead more than ever before during his tenure in Cleveland because of the lack of veterans. “We don’t know each other,” said Francona. “You need to let me ask you questions so we get to know each other.”Yu Chang will get a chance to become the regular second baseman.Two weeks later, there was a game where the defense put three infielders on the right side of the diamond when the lefty Kwan came to the plate. Kwan hit a sizzling liner right into the shift for an out.
