The thing that strikes me about Fran is that he doesn't appear the type that is a slave to a system or that he is afraid to make tough decisions. I think he will make adjustments to make us more competitive by slowing down the pace and adjusting playing time. Scary thought: Stokes looked every bit as athletic as Basabe (granted he played during garbage time and granted that is not saying much). I don't think Fran could have dreamt Cartwright, Basabe and May being this bad collectively to start the season.
