think it's simply time to have someone in place should 2017 be a repeat of 2016 at the C position. TDA simply doesn't have the MLB track record of success (or staying healthy) that he should be relied upon. Gimme Castillo/TDA with the guy playing better getting more PT. In my view it would be negligent to not bring in SOMEONE "just in case"
Do I have to start swinging the ban hammer around here
Pedro Lopez will succeed Wally Backman as the Triple-A Las Vegas manager, reports ESPN's Adam Rubin. Lopez had been the Double-A manager of Binghamton.
Backman left the organization back in September, citing that he felt 'disrespected' by the team.
Rubin also reports that Frank Viola and Jack Voigt will remain in their their positions as pitching and hitting coaches.
