Tim Johnson Replaces Fran Riordan as Lake County Fielders Manager

Less than three months after announcing that Fran Riordan will return as field manager for the Lake County Fielders the organization has hired former MLB manager Tim Johnson to manage the club for the 2011 season. 

Johnson, who most recently managed the Independent Tuscon Toros, managed the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1998 season.  The Toros are not fielding a team for the 2011 season with the hopes of Triple-A baseball returning to Tuscon. 

Riordan went 41-59 with the Fielders last season.
