Last Wednesday the Dodgers announced their minor league coaching staffs. There were some changes of assignments within the organization, some not returning, and others added from outside. The shuffling of the assignments is always a bit mind boggling as some coaches move to lower levels such as Justin Viele moving from Rancho Cucamonga to Great Lakes and Seth Connor moving from Great Lakes to Ogden. Others moved up such as Jeremy Rodriguez from Great Lakes to the Oklahoma Dodgers and Pedro Montero from Rancho Cucamonga to Tulsa.
The reasons for the shuffling are not always -well never – clear to the casual observer.
