The Cleveland Indians have hired former minor league pitcher Gregg Langbehn to be their major league replay coordinator.

Langbehn, 43, will watch games from the clubhouse and advise on when to challenge an umpire's decision.

"There will be communication to the dugout, I'm assuming it's a hard line," Francona said. "He's going to call us, because if there's something going on, I'm going to have to go out on the field. It will be our responsibility to communicate with him in a timely fashion and then we make our own decisions."
