It's interesting, but his fielding problem is with the most basic plays. No range required. He couldn't cleanly field a routine grounder coming straight at him. I'm hoping that's easier to teach than range or backhanding the ball.

And after hiring Francona, the Reds cleaned house and fired every coach. I'm hoping Francona's aura will inspire higher quality coaches to come to Cincinnati and correct some of EDLC hitting problems.
