 Terry Francona | BaseballLibrary.com
The son of '50s and '60s major league player Tito Francona, Terry was The Sporting News College Player of the Year at the University of Arizona in 1980, and was the Expos' first-round draft pick in the 1980 free agent draft.
With the Expos, he spent half of 1982 and half of 1984 on the DL with a recurring knee injury; the 1984 injury was particularly devastating, as Francona had been hitting.346 to that point.
After compiling a 296-266 record in the minors, Francona was hired after the 1996 season to replace Jim Fregosi as manager of the Phillies.

People have been clamoring to fire Terry Francona and have fallen short of that for Theo Epstein, esteemed General Manager of this ballclub, and are just simply demanding changes.

 Baseball Musings: Rewarding Francona
The Red Sox gave Francona a bonus for 2006; his salary in 2007 and 2008 will be $1.65 million and $1.85 million, respectively, ESPN's Peter Gammons reported.
I'm not sure Francona can be held accountable, or praised, for as many of those decisions as you guys think he should.
I think, after the whole Grady Little Debacle, that Theo et al had a strong discussion with him in the interviewing process and made sure he was aware that the GM and owners would be making a lot of decisions like that.
