Back in May, former Virginia Tech baseball player Warren Schaeffer was named interim manager of the Colorado Rockies, replacing the outgoing Bud Black. He ended up taking over a team that ended up setting a record for losses with 119.
It wasn't his fault that the roster was a dumpster fire, but he gutted his way with a roster that was young and inexperienced in a lot of areas. After the season ended, the 40-year-old was left in limbo as to what his future in the Mile High City was going to be. Earlier this month, the organization finally found a president of baseball operations in Paul DePodesta, who was working for the Cleveland Browns in the NFL.
