That said, I really want a decision to be made so I can be more excited.

It's Pelf!

Hopefully he can put his stamp on the staff this year following a 5.39 team ERA with only one pitcher below 4.00 on the roster. Probably a trial year for him, I would think. Keep some continuity with the current pitching staff and with the 10 arms in this recruiting class and see how they get along.Last edited by Wuzee; June 13, 2019, 03:15 PM.“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

Very interesting.
So that's +1 for legacy, and doesn't really fit into either 'experience' category.
Also, I'm no mind-reader, but it seems like it would be weird to announce Pelfrey staying and not announce Esposito staying if that were the case.

I can promise you that ADDB wasn't going to relive that mistake. There's absolutely no doubt HCEW was hired with total and complete power to hire his own staff from top to bottom. That Mike Pelfrey has been chosen to be the pitching coach speaks only to Mike Pelfrey's skill set and how he's (apparently) made a very strong impression on the new leader. There was nothing in the works prior.

While I would like to see that I would not be upset if it did not happen or if Wedge goes a non-legacy route nor do I have any idea if Mark is even interested in the position.

The reason I mention Mark is that he actually has fairly extensive college recruiting experience. Yes he has been recruiting to a much lower level but he still no doubt has built a pretty extensive recruiting network. I just don't see Hooper leaving his job with the Padres to be an assistant but I could be wrong about that. Russ Mormon is an interesting name that has only surfaced recently. Wedge clearly is not rushing into these decisions so I am comfortable with whatever diredction he takes.Last edited by 1972Shocker; June 14, 2019, 01:19 PM.
