It started with the story of Jim Hendry's signing breaking earlier in the day and finished up with the Yankees officially announcing a bunch of front office promotions. Real quick, here's the list:
- Hendry as Special Assignment Scout
- Steve Donohue to Major League Head Athletic Trainer
- Mark Littlefield to Major League Assistant Athletic Trainer
- Jean Afterman to Sr. Vice President/Assistant GM
- Billy Eppler to Assistant GM
- William Kuntz to Manager, Pro Scouting
I haven't read any specifics, but I imagine these new positions come with some nice perks. A little extra salary, end-of-the-year bonuses, preferred parking spots at The Stadium, and in Eppler's case, probably more than that. He did very well for himself interviewing for other GM positions out there this offseason, finishing 2nd to Jerry DiPoto for the Angels' job, and could be settling in as the heir apparent to Cash. Plus he's a UConn School of Business grad like me, so clearly Eppler is a talented cat. If I were him, I would have pushed for a calzone for lunch every day and a new desk big enough to sleep under.
