Baltimore Orioles Front Office
January 17, 2008
As he walked into the building, Jeff pondered his future, and the future of the organization that he was about to take charge of. "I hope I don't get fired," he pondered, quietly praying for everything to go right.
He got to the front desk, and asked Tina, Mr. MacPhail's assistant, to let him know that he was here. After receiving Mr. MacPhail's confirmation, she showed Jeff into the office.
"Glad to see you made it, Mr. Harvey," MacPhail said as he entered. "I have some different things I want to discuss with you, mainly staff."
"Okay," Jeff stated, quietly pondering what MacPhail's meaning was.
"First off, I want you to know that we have recently hired a new pitching coach, Mr. C.J. Medrano, who used to be a third baseman in the MLB, and-"
"Hold on," Jeff said. "A third baseman? I thought he was supposed to be a pitching coach!"
"He is," MacPhail said, with a smile and a slight chuckle. "He was a pitcher before he converted to third baseman."
"Okay," Jeff said uneasily. "Proceed."
MacPhail continued: "We have also hired a new hitting coach, Mr. Joey Acaccia, who was the bench coach for the Athletics from 2000 to 2005, and has served as their hitting coach for the past two years, and a new manager, Mr. Buck Showalter."
"Anything else I need to know about?" Jeff asked.
"One last thing," MacPhail stated. "We have three openings for scouts, including the position of head scout. If you know anybody, don't hesitate to give them a call."
"Okay," Jeff said. "I'll think it over."
"Good," MacPhail said, walking Jeff out of his office. "I'll have the roster for you on your next visit. From here on out, you have control of the team."
"Alright," Jeff said, gulping on the inside.
-------------------------------------------
So does anybody want to be a scout? I still have those openings, and I'd like to have them filled before the roster update tonight.
This is gonna be a fun log.
