Johnson named U.S. manager
LAS VEGAS — Davey Johnson will get another chance to manage the U.S. baseball team — one made up of major leaguers this time.
Johnson guided the Americans to a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics in August and now will manage the U.S. team in the second World Baseball Classic this spring.
Johnson was a coach under manager Buck Martinez in the 2006 WBC, when a U.S. team loaded with All-Stars failed to reach the semifinals.
