ARLINGTON -- Spring Training is the latest affirmation why Indians manager Terry Francona loves having bench coach Brad Mills by his side.
Francona gave Mills credit for the Indians having a smooth-running Spring Training in Arizona. While the manager sets the overall philosophy for the club and dictates what he wants accomplished, it's left up to one of the coaches or a field coordinator to handle the day-to-day details and plan out each workout for the club.
Mills does that for his long-time friend.
"We feel we accomplished everything we wanted to accomplish," Francona said.
