Skeels to San Jose, Decker to Conneticut?

As Baggs says in his article, Andy Skeels, manger of the most dominant team in MiLB last year has been promoted to Single A. This announcement leads Baggs to wonder if Decker- the giants catching Guru, will move on to the Dodd. I wonder is this will further fast track any of the players. There was talk of Bumgarner and Noonan going to Double A, i wonder if Decker being there makes it more likely. Furthermore, since Posey was supposed to go to HighA to work with Decker, does he just go strait to Double A?

I thought..

It was pretty definite that Decker was going to AA and Posey was going to AA to work with him and Alderson and Bumgarner.

NOOOO

I wanted a chance to see Madison in SJ, though Noonan and Villalona should be there to cheer on when I make the trek down the peninsula. Good for Skeels though, he seems like a helluva coach…wonder if Decker could an option to replace Bochy next year?

If God had intended us not to rosterbate, he would've made our arms shorter.

yeah, i thought it was pretty much decided that they were going to be moving alderson, posey, and bumgarner up to AA… which makes good sense to me, anyway. Now my question has always been what to do with villalona— leave him in Augusta and give him a chance to dominate before bumping him up, or stay aggressive with him and send him to San Jose. I’d say this makes the latter option just a bit more likely.

So hopefully at this rate...

He’ll end the year at either AA or AAA and being coaching the big league team by mid-2010!

Gotta go with the Hawk on this one and think Decker may be on deck as the next SF Giants manger. Why is there a need to promote Bumgarner all the way from Lo A to AA? He is still young and there are other candidate pitchers for AA – Alderson, Tanner, Snyder, Sosa, Maday and Barnes

The Denker bus is now bound for San Diego. Those who were passengers on it are now angrily stranded at a gas station in Modesto, CA. Not much about baseball here .
