Speaker is seen as a smart player with ample experience, but the timing is critical as fans hope for a pennant and critics promise sharp scrutiny if results lag. The resignation of Lee Fohl, noted as a clever manager, came as a surprise in Cleveland after a season that began with mixed impressions.
