ST. PETERSBURG -- Al d¨ªa siguiente de su anticipado y memorable debut de Grandes Ligas, el dominicano Wander Franco no sab¨ªa con exactitud cu¨¢ntos mensajes de apoyo y felicitaciones hab¨ªa recibido. M¨¢s de 100, calcul¨®, pero menos de 1,000.
Seg¨²n Franco, algunos de esos mensajes fueron de jugadores de Grandes Ligas, un grupo de figuras conocidas al cual pertenece ahora. Cuatro nombres llaman la atenci¨®n: El venezolano Ronald Acu?a Jr. y los quisqueyanos Starling Marte, Fernando Tatis Jr. y Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
¡°Tatis me dijo que s¨®lo es el comienzo. Vladdy Jr. subi¨® un post a su Instagram del ni?o. Marte que vamos arriba. Todas esas cosas", dijo Franco.
Los Rays siguen hablando del debut de Franco, pero no solamente del jonr¨®n de tres carreras con el que empat¨® el partido del martes y su doble al bosque izquierdo m¨¢s adelante. El manager Kevin Cash destac¨® el primer turno al bate de Franco -- en el cual el quisqueyano se vio abajo en la cuenta 0-2, pero termin¨® negociando una base por bolas -- afirmando que ¡°fue tan impresionante como lo dem¨¢s que hizo¡±.
¡°Muchos de nosotros hubi¨¦semos ca¨ªdo al suelo haciendo swing. S¨¦ que eso hubiera hecho yo¡±, dijo Cash. ¡°Me emocion¨¦ mucho de volver y repasar cuando salieron los lanzamientos en el iPad, cu¨¢n lejos estaban. Digo, eran bolas ¨C el ¨¢rbitro las cant¨® correctamente ¨C pero que un muchacho de 20 a?os tenga ese tipo de disciplina nos hace afortunados de tenerlo¡±.
Franco tambi¨¦n fue elogiado por la astuta doble matanza que inici¨® en la octava entrada, especialmente tomando en cuenta que es un campocorto por naturaleza que hace poco empez¨® a jugar en la tercera base.
¡°El tener esa consciencia simplemente demuestra qu¨¦ talentoso que es f¨ªsicamente, mentalmente, m¨¢s all¨¢ de sus a?os¡±, dijo Cash. ¡°Y en ese momento, fue la jugada del partido¡±.
Franco estuvo nuevamente en el orden ofensivo de Tampa Bay el mi¨¦rcoles y se fue de 3-0 con dos boletos como tercer bate en la victoria de los Rays por 8-2 sobre Boston. En un principio, el oriundo de Ban¨ª estaba pautado para fungir como tercera base, pero Taylor Walls fue descartado por molestias en la mu?eca derecha, por lo que Franco fue titular en las paradas cortas.
La llegada de Franco ha creado aun m¨¢s aglomeraci¨®n en el cuadro interior de los Rays. Cash indic¨® el martes que le gustar¨ªa que cada jugador del cuadro viera acci¨®n cinco de cada seis d¨ªas, o seis de cada siete, aunque el lineup cambiar¨¢ dependiendo de qui¨¦n sea el lanzador contrario y cu¨¢les jugadores necesiten d¨ªas libres para descansar.??
Los Rays tambi¨¦n pueden aprovechar la versatilidad de sus jugadores de posici¨®n. Por ejemplo, Brandon Lowe estaba programado para ser titular en el bosque derecho el mi¨¦rcoles, pero fue trasladado a la segunda base cuando Walls fue descartado. Joey Wendle pas¨® de la intermedia a la antesala, Franco de la tercera a las paradas cortas, el dominicano Manuel Margot del jard¨ªn central al derecho y Brett Phillips de la banca al jard¨ªn central. Esa flexibilidad le permite a Cash usar su banca durante el juego.?
¡°Solamente ser¨¢ responsabilidad de nosotros, y m¨ªa, comunicarnos con los muchachos, que sepan que no es un descenso¡±, dijo Cash el martes. ¡°Es un d¨ªa libre o no ser titular. Que est¨¦n listo para ayudarnos a ganar m¨¢s adelante en el juego¡±.
