Shallow Grave

Manny's Starting to Kill the Red Sox By Creeping Up Too Much in Left. Why Won't Tito Tell Him Where to Go?

"Regardless of what the numbers show, if you try to force somebody into playing where they are not comfortable, they are not going to make plays. You can look at depths all you want, and we spend a lot of time not just [on left field]. Every position. But if a guy is out of his comfort zone, he is not going to make the plays. You can push somebody back all you want, but if their first thought is 'in,' that's not going to work." -- 7.17.07, Terry Francona on where Manny decides to play in the field
