Manny Acta would like to be the Official Manager of The Book

By Tangotiger, 05:20 PM

According to this quote:

“Nick [Johnson], even when Soriano was here, was the most productive player we had because of his on-base percentage,” Acta said. “That prolongs innings, prolongs games. It wins games. It’s huge. He has so much value for us.”
