From what I read he is a great communicator with players and very big on organization. Both have been in short supply.
Francona recommends him without hesitation, so that's good enough for me to get him my whole support. I'd like to see Ausmus lead this club one day, but obviously he isn't ready.
Hope this is a great hire. I'll give him 2-3 years to get things his way & then judge him. GOOD LUCK TO MILLS
