I'm going to add minor league coaches to my where are they now page, so be sure and let me know all the RBI'ers who are in the minor league ranks.
Mike Aldrete - A ball Diamondbacks
Al Pedrique - AAA ball Diamondbacks
both are managers
Off the top of my head:
Wally Backman (I believe AA WhiteSox)
Added those three to page, keep em coming...
Also let me know if you the actual team names (eg Durham Bulls)
Donnie Moore is coaching the Heaven Hardballers.
Rick Burleson is the manager for the Louisville Riverbats.
Give me league and team...
Mike Schmidt was just hired as minor league manager in the Phillies system, I believe A Ball
Yes, the Clearwater Phillies.
I heard Wally Backman and his agent were directly involved and perhaps responsible for the firing of Jerry Manuel this year. Wally really wants the job and it sounds like he instituted a good ol' smear campaign. Anyone else have any info on this?
There was no smear campaign needed, Mauel was going to be fired if the White Sox didn't make the playoffs. Manuel was not a fan favorite and their underperforming down the stretch did him in.
Updated the current list:
* Rick Burleson - Louisville Riverbats (AAA Reds)
* Wally Backman - Brimingham Barons (AA White Sox)
* Mike Schmidt - Clearwater Phillies (A Phillies)
Looks like Aldrete went to seattle to 1b coach and Pedrique is the D-Backs 3B coach now. So a mere three from what I see...
