ST. LOUIS -- Manny Acta, the highly respected manager just kicked to the curb by the Nationals, won't be without work for long. He was a longtime manager in Houston's minor-league system and could be joining the Astros' coaching staff as a bench coach. This would be a sensitive move as Cecil Cooper is not as secure as Houston's 44-44 record would suggest. ... http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-090713-rogers-mlb-whispers,0,3853076.story This is Phil Rogers, so take this with a grain of salt
Manny Acta is very highly regarded by Tal Smith and all of baseball so yea this would be a good move over Ed Romero.
I'd love to have Manny Acta back in the organization. I'd love for them to can Cooper and hire Acta, too.
