ATC, do you have a favorite to take over this job?I am personally sad about this. Our family is sad about it. But 9 deserves some time to travel the world. Hopefully he can allow himself to do that along with his wonderful wife, Susan. Singularly most focused person I have ever met.

Who can replace him?
One would have to think Ryan Garko would be a dark horse candidate with his limited experience. Only one year on the farm as an assistant and maybe one or two years managing the AA Drillers. He was a good recruiter though.
Stanford benefactor John Arrillaga may have his heart broken. He wants AJ Hinch very bad. His second choice is Mike Aldrete. I think Mr. Arrillaga may be 0 for two on his two choices because Hinch is guiding the Astros and I don't see Aldrete leaving MLB.
Rusty Filter will be given respectful consideration. I think Garko is a long shot because 9 did not want him to leave after that one year.
As odd as it sounds or maybe not so odd, the smart money is on Dave Esquer Head Coach of CAL.
I know he's a grad, but he'd got to be pretty entrenched where he is by now, plus he's got a really good freshman class as well as a great 2017 recruit class. I believe that Cal's got an excellent chance to get to the CWS in the next two years.
That is very true but deep down Dave will never forget the crock of lies that Sandy Barbour told him as well as Jeff Kent when she had decided that Baseball was going under. That memory will never go away in spite of the amazing memories of them saving the program and advancing in post season. I hope you are right Quaffer, but I just laid some cash on Esquer wearing Cardinal.
Too bad for Barbara he's connected at the hip to Sprague while at UOP. Their approach to looking at BA talent was ho-hum at best.
I've known David since we were teens at Palma (although haven't seen him in years). I'm a few years older but he was in my brothers class and we played some ball. Truly a great person and he basically saved Cal's baseball program. As a Stanford alumni and believe he got the game winning hit in the College World Series, Stanford is his college home. I'm sure he is sad leaving the Cal program and the players he coached, but he is a Cardinal. He will probably get a great amount of support to take the program further. Good luck. Will probably attend more Stanford games since my office is 10 minutes away from the field.
