Personally, I'm not a fan of giving the responsibility of this roster and franchise to someone that has little/no experience. I'd be perfectly content with Francona - then again, I'm not buying the narrative coming out of Boston that he's the reason all hell broke loose. Seems awful convenient.
Last I checked, there aren't any other active managers with as many titles as TF. If Mo think's he's best for this organization, get it done and start working on Albert.

Boston is a cesspool of back-biting and...well outright horseshit really.
Francona would be a
fantastic pickup.
He provides instant credibility and respect both to prospective free agents and our own guys.
Added bonus: If Pujols walks, maybe Elsbury decides he really enjoyed playing for Tito and gives us a ring next December...
He's the guy I wanted before I knew LaRussa was retiring and deep down, I was hoping this exact scenario would play out (Tony rides off into the sunset and we get Tito).
Very exciting if true.
