The question posed to Terry Francona was asked not a few days after the end of the 2015 season. A season that saw the team again have a under .500 first month of 2015, and yet recover to still be in the race for a wild card spot late in the season.
“What can you do to improve the slow starts to the season?”
It was the same question asked to Francona this past week in Goodyear, AZ as the Indians kickoff the start of spring training, and his answer was about the same as it was that day just after the end of the 2015 campaign.
