Two teams in the NL West hired new general managers before the 2015 season began. Jeff Bridich and A.J. Preller have seen similar results at the MLB level, but the former has reinforced his farm system and the latter has decimated his.
During the winter of 2015, two teams in the westernmost division of the Senior Circuit put up "Under New Management" signs.
The San Diego Padres recruited the highly touted, highly regarded, well-respected, and generally revered A.J. Preller: The mastermind behind the transformation in Texas from laughing stock to perennial playoff participants.
The Colorado Rockies promoted Jeff Bridich from within an organization that far too many of it's fans have lost faith in, making the task that lay before him that much more daunting.
