As another Dog Days season comes to a close, we look for new GMs for these three franchises:
Kendall Griffins -- The team's GM has been hands off for the past couple seasons, and it shows. The city has a built in advantage with pitching, but the team was a poor 10th in runs allowed this season. The team lost money this season but has an outstanding bankroll to work with. Supposedly, the team has only the 21st best minor league system, but I see several pitchers in the lower minors who could make it. Will have a very high draft pick in the coming draft.
Twin Falls Tigers -- Small market team that has been a perennial contender until this season. Will miss the playoffs this year, but not by much. 5th in run production, 7th in runs allowed, but they have some starting pitching to work with. Built in city advantage is speed. Has an above average minor league system.
Yancey Yellow Jackets -- Big city team which had to deal with financial problems lately, but is pulling out of the red. Doomed by a terrible offense this season, but you could do worse than rebuilding around young SP Hiang-ta Li and slugger Jerome Marbini.
