-Shapiro credits second-half success to Wedge, says he'll return- Cleveland Indians GM Mark Shapiro said manager Eric Wedge will return next season, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Friday. The Indians, who came one win away from the World Series last year, got off to a disappointing start in 2008 as injuries mounted and the team fell 16 games out of first. But since the team traded pitching ace CC Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers in July, the Indians are 36-22, and have climbed out of the AL Central cellar. Shapiro credits his sixth-year manager for that turnaround, according to The Plain Dealer. "Eric's strength and consistency are most apparent when we have adversity," Shapiro said, according to the report. "Those values don't always show themselves when we're going through that adversity, but those values are always apparent when we emerge from them." According to the report, Shapiro pointed out that instead of playing out the string of a disappointing season, the Indians under Wedge have improved and given their young talent a chance to shine. "When teams go through tough times and transition, some don't utilize the time to get positive work done," Shapiro said, according to The Plain Dealer. "We have made the most of the situations. We've infused a lot of young talent into this team. Eric ensured that we'd get something out of this year." Wedge, the 2007 AL Manager of the Year, had a 486-469 career record entering Friday night. 展望明年，傷兵歸隊，以及Lee-Carmona 組成的新one two punch，打擊下半季終於有點往年的樣子，讓人放心一些了，當然，我們還會簽回CC(誤) 明年AL中區真的會很刺激，除了白襪、雙城之外，還有今年沒發威的老虎，以及逐漸茁壯的皇家。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.139.60.241
