Phightins Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians hired Manny Acta to be their manager, giving him the job about three months after he was fired by the Washington Nationals. Acta signed a three-year contract with a club option for 2013, Indians spokesman Bart Swain said Sunday. Additional terms were not disclosed. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4593663 Solid hiring. I always liked Acta and think he has a lot of potential. I've always looked at him as a very smart manager stuck in one of the worst organizations in pro sports (the Washington Nationals). Now he will have some talent to work with in Cleveland, and a front office that isn't completely clueless, so we will see how this goes.

bigdog17k Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 We'll get to see if he's a good manager. He didn't do much in Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
