Here's an ignorant question -
What does a GM for minor league teams do? I would have to imagine personal moves (outside of administrative staff) are limited by the big club. I've just never really considered the role of minor league GMs before.

Brilliant promotional idea: manager for a game GM contest. Fans can write in as to why they deserve to manage the team, all expenses paid trip and one of us wins each year. Then when a big league job opens, we have legitimate minor league managing experience. I need the inside track for when the Cards finally can Matheny so I'd appreciate being the first guy to win this contest. Why have power if you're not going to abuse it to help your friends?

Gentlemen...some sad news on this front, but happy news overall.
The best part of all of this is I am engaged. She's amazing...I'm beyond lucky. Want to make sure that stays in perspective.
The tough part is that I had to turn down the Aces position. Lauren has two kids and had in her divorce agreement that she could take the children wherever she wanted with two months notice. Two weeks before I was to leave, Lauren's ex ambushed us with his intent to keep the kids in the area (not taking custody, mind you). Texas is very tough on family law like this, and we found out the judge would rule in his favor. I'll be in Houston for the foreseeable future.
I'm going to start my business back up, and do a lot of work in soccer and baseball...but I was so excited for that position. Apologies for any hopes I got up...but my relationships with Reno are excellent, so a meet up can certainly occur!

Tough break...but you are saying there is now a chance that one of the 29 of us can apply for that open spot and you will provide a reference
