PORT
LOUIS (AP) - Port Louis Dodos
Interim General Manager Adam Darowski noticed one glaring
issue when he first stepped into the Dodos clubhouse - a lack
of leadership. Cito Gaston, the manager of the team, was working
alone without a coaching staff.
Judging
by the performance of this club over the past... I don't know...
ever, this is not a group that can be called upon to police
themselves, Darowski told the local press in his first
interview since taking over the club. We have brought
in the proper reinforcements for Cito.
This
season, Darowski is taking over the day-to-day duties for
the Dodos during the absence of owner/General Manager Gianluca
Greggio. Greggio has trusted Darowski not to dismantle any
system he has tried to build. In fact, Darowski is still tops
on the Weaverball waiting list to receive his own franchise.
So one of you frickin quit already! Darowski
exclaimed.
Darowski
talked with Gaston and decided to bring in some of Citos
old pals from the days of the Toronto Blue Jays. In Darowskis
first move, he hired Jack Morris as pitching coach. Jack
is one of the biggest money performers in the history of sports.
That cannot be overlooked, Darowski stated.
Tom
Henke was named bullpen coach. The great Joe Carter was called
upon to be the hitting coach. He was an RBI machine
and we view him as a tremendous managerial prospect,
Darowski explained. Pat Borders will act as Gastons
bench coach. Kelly Gruber will coach first and Tony Fernandez
will waive them home from third.
Darowski
is a well known 1993 Phillies phanatic. So, did it hurt to
hire all of these players that destroyed the dreams of his
all-time favorite team? I know Gianluca is a Blue Jays
fan. I wanted to help his club. Gianluca is a great guy and
I am willing to look past his faults for the better of the
club."
