Comments on: Indians interview Acta http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/tribe_matters/2009/10/15/indians-interview-acta/ Indians, Aeros and Major League Baseball Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:29:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sean http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/tribe_matters/2009/10/15/indians-interview-acta/comment-page-1/#comment-1262 Sean Sat, 17 Oct 2009 18:51:47 +0000 http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/tribe_matters/?p=2580#comment-1262 Why would the Tribe ever make an unpopular fan hire like Acta? Hargrove is the People's Choice, and he's a solid manager. Took us to two World Series and can manage a variety of personalities, which Wedge did not seem able to do. He and Sharon are local favorites, and this should be the first no-brainer hire in Shapiro's tenure. The only reason Mike was let go by Hart....was that Hart was leaving and wanted to give his buddy Charlie Manuel a start. Hargrove wasn't a Hart "guy," but baseball people know very well that Hargrove is a "baseball guy" and a "good guy," something this franchise currently needs from both a field and PR standpoint.
