Re: Random Baseball Musings
The Phillies just hired a 27 year-old as their assistant GM.

He is only 6 years beyond being able to legally drink.
WTF?

I know, I know... 2 different people. But Rangers still have no championships to show for it.

Re: Random Baseball Musings
Another way to look at it is:
Last place finishes in 3 of the past 4 seasons, and they haven't finished the season above .500 since 2016.

Re: Random Baseball Musings
I'll start by saying I'm a big proponent of the younger generation (sub-30 year-olds). I think they will shape the world in many positive ways.
But this is the 2nd hiring of a "kid" in the past couple of hours that makes me scratch my head and say, WTF?

The 28 year-old had already been coaching for a couple of seasons? I can't imagine being a 30-year old major leaguer and having a non-player (meaning, he has no BR page) who is 2 years younger than me as a coach... or 3 years younger than me as the asst. GM. Yeesh.The Brewers announced this afternoon that they’ve hired Ozzie Timmons and Connor Dawson as co-hitting coaches.
Timmons has spent the past four seasons on the Rays’ coaching staff. He’d split his time between base coaching and serving as Tampa Bay’s assistant hitting coach before getting a bump to full-time assistant hitting coach last month. Just a few weeks later, he’ll land a more significant role in Milwaukee. An outfielder in his playing days, the 51-year-old Timmons appeared in parts of five big league seasons from 1995-2000.
Dawson comes over from the Mariners, where he’d been Seattle’s minor league hitting coordinator. The 28-year-old had previously spent a couple seasons coaching in the M’s system and now gets his first job on a big league staff.

Re: Random Baseball Musings
Perhaps they're anticipating that the coaches will waste less time banging on about "how things were in their day" and will provide useful information that will allow the players the chance to perform better.
I've no problem with a manager / trainer younger than me, as long as they're not an idiot.
