I'm actually curious to see if Gonzales is right...

though didn’t we just fire most of our minor league managers a few weeks ago?

"[Our new product] is a revolutionary advancement in golf tee time technology," said Harry Ipema, Co-Founder and President of Fore! Reservations. "Two months ago our programmers told me that it would take twelve months to develop it. But it took one sixth of that time - we've had a programmer who has really been focused recently."

I'm pretty sure I saw that Saburo (or whatever)

already landed a managerial job in another org…

If it’s just coaching changes, we’re not really talking about much change though. Minor league managers, for the most part, don’t have a whole lot of effect (at least on the macro-level). They may influence a player here or there, but for the most part they are button pushers who are looking to work their way up the chain to the majors.

If we’re talking front-office minor league staff, then we’re talking about a changeup. Because then you’re talking about a change in organzational philosophy. I imagine it’s the latter, as we need some more international help, obviously.

yeah, he got a job with the dodgers.

i imagine it’s the latter, too.

Likewise. I'd imagine it'll be a shift in philosophy.

Though I am encouraged with some aspects of the last two drafts. Poreda, Nevin (when on the mound), Beckham, Danks, Carter, Ely (to a lesser extent), even O’neil, despite his poor-ish debut.

Not an excellent class but there seems to be a different philosophy in that regard.
