And the personnel moves didn’t end there. Worcester’s pitching and hitting coaches were both also fired, perhaps in response to stalled development of prospects like Shane Drohan and Brandon Walter. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)
It’s more than a little curious that all these personnel moves are happening before the club has found someone to replace Chaim Bloom, no?
