Manny Acta is the new Tribe Skipper for 2010. He is now 40 years old, which makes him reasonably young, typical for a Mark Shapiro hire.
He was manager of the Washington Nationals, a perennial doormat in the National League. He wasn't able to turn that around. The team improved slighty the first year, but had a worse record each succeeding year he was there.
Of course, the reason managers are available is almost always because they got fired somewhere else. Tribe fans can hope Acta learned some things in Washington.
Thanks to Wikipedia for the stats.
