In mid-June, following the release of former hitting coach/recruiting coordinator D.J. “Jazzy” Svihlik, I wrote a column in which I profiled some of the potential names who could soon be hired. At the time, it looked plausible a coaching hire would be announced soon after.
Nope. Amidst no fanfare, and literally two press release style articles on the team’s website and the Nashville Post, respectively, we have our answer: Mike Baxter - former Vanderbilt Commodore Outfielder and First Baseman; former Padre, Met, Dodger, and Cub OF and bench bat; and possibly Liz Lemon’s fake boyfriend, and/or the Tim Allen character your drunk Uncle never once watched, but suddenly had an opinion about after Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity told him to be outraged that his shitty show was cancelled by ABC (which may or may not be run by Bilderberg or the Lizard People, depending on just how drunk said Uncle is at the time).
