What does this say about Ryan Minor who appears to be staying in Frederick?

May be raising a family in Frederick and it works for him.

Best news all offseason to me. Huge Buck Britton fan!

I wonder what happens with Keith Bodie? Stays in Bowie to help Britton? Moves up with Kendall? Goes to Delmarva?

Quite possible.  It may say nothing at all about him as far as how he's viewed.  Maybe they think he's a good match for the players at that level and value him there.  If Elias didn't like him, he probably would have let him go.

I think I may have argued against myself.  Really just wondering how he is viewed within the organization and more widely within the game.

I've got a mole tearing up the side yard.  I can try and box it up and send it north.

Not sure but it covers a lot of ground.

I think we found the Orioles right fielder and lead off guy!

Substantial promotion for Britton, who is only 32. Love this. 

Buck was very impressive in his first year and good evaluator of talent! He's a rising star.

You wonder what the conversations were between Buck and Zach after Zach went to the Yankees and apparently was introduced to the importance of actual analytics?.and did they talk about it again in the leadup to the Elias hire as GM...

Zach was very positive in that article after his trade about the Astros analytics approach.. which was way before ME came on board here, 

 

I am glad to see the move....hopefully it will be another positive player development piece for us.

Yeah, I think Buck Britton is a natural coach and leader, I don't think he has had much of an analytical bent to this point. He is young, smart, and seems like the type who will adapt and learn.

I agree...And certainly smart enough to know and likely also hear it from his big brother about how analytics is done in Yankeeville and is the zeitgeist of the future if you want to have any shot at being a big league manager...and smart enough to see that wave coming here with the hiring of ME and crew...

Problem is that Dempsey makes stuff up. Palmer knows stuff.
