“Very pleased to have the continuity, that speaks to the quality people we have. We’re very happy with each of our managers. Gary Allenson has done well at Triple-A, Brad Komminsk has had a couple of outstanding years at Bowie. Orlando Gomez is very patient and good with young players so we are keeping him with the same group. Ryan Minor is just a first-class baseball person and we’ve wanted to get him into a manager’s role.”
