RBI legends Tim Teufel and Wally Backman have been given minor league managerial jobs by the Mets - Teufel is managing the Binghamton Mets (AA) (http://www.nj.com/mets/index.ssf/2009/11/ny_mets_promote_tim_teufel_to.html), and Backman is managing the Brooklyn Cyclones (A) (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20091113&content_id=7664962&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb).
So backman goes from a big league job (sorta) to single-A? Ouch...
