Francona praises Tigers
posted in 2007 season, Out-of-Town Media |Here’s a short piece as part of a roundup at Boston.com, the web site of the Boston Globe.
Red Sox manager Terry Francona’s assessment of the defending AL champs is in lockstep with the rest of baseball:
“In my opinion, the team that may have made the biggest gains — and it’s only one player — is Detroit. They needed one thing — a hitter in the middle of the lineup — and they got that without giving up any of those major league starters, so that’s a big gain right there.”
Francona is, of course, referring to Gary Sheffield.
