Dominican manager Manny Acta didn't have to wait long for his second chance as a Major League manager. Acta, who was previously employed as the manager of the Washington Nationals, was introduced yesterday as the head bench man for the Cleveland Indians. Though Acta's Nationals team didn't have much success during his tenure, it was largely due to the lack of quality players Acta was given. His skills as a manager were never in doubt and it was this confidence in him that lead to his most reason post. Acta's arrival is a welcome sign from Cleveland, as it looks to rebound into a playoff contender. It is believed that Acta's strong ties to the DR could have a positive impact on a team that has yet to establish a legitimate presence in Latin America, and whose last bona-fide Latino superstar was Manny Ramirez.
