    Hopefully Nightengale's sources are rock solid. Won't officially be announced until tomorrow

    He's paid his dues here, and they've kept him on the crew through 3 different GM's and 2 different managers.

    Hopefully this means we will be back to an organization in which all levels are pulling the same direction. I don't expect a manager to be robotic in every single choice, but putting the best players on the field for a given game more often than not is not some unrealistic expectation.

    So much this. I'm cautiously optimistic that Espada will do this.

    Awesome choice. Now management can all be on the same page.

    I wonder if Omar Lopez gets promoted and gets Espada's spot or if they hire a new bench coach.

    Not my first choice but as long as he recognizes that Dusty was not someone he should he should try to emulate he will do fine.
