Change is inevitable… and boy did the Dodgers front office make some major changes! According to Ken Gurnick of Dodgers .com, the Dodgers did not invite back ten (count ’em 1o) Managers and Coaches in their Minor League system, including the managers of the AAA and AA teams:
“Among those whose contracts will not be renewed are Triple-A Oklahoma City manager Damon Berryhill, who was named manager of the year in the Pacific Coast League earlier this month, and Double-A Tulsa manager Razor Shines.
In addition to Berryhill and Shines, staff not invited back are Oklahoma City hitting coach Franklin Stubbs, Class A Great Lakes pitching coach Glenn Dishman, Arizona Rookie League manager Jack McDowell, instructor Rick Rhoden, Great Lakes coach Angel Sanchez, Rookie-level Ogden hitting coach Darryl Brinkley and instructor Erik Bedard.
