Apparently, Rico Brogna is out as Director of Player Development for the Diamondbacks. Mike Bell, who had been the field coordinator, will take over in that role.
No word on why Brogna lasted only a month in this role.

Should We Have Expected This?
The Arizona Diamondbacks just announced that Rico Brogna will take over as Director of Player Development and that Mike Berger has been reassigned to a scouting role within the organization.
I guess when you have a change in General Managers (Kevin Towers) like Arizona did, this shouldn't come as a shock. Even still, I thought Mike Berger had been doing a decent job and would stay in the same role for at least another year. He had only been in this current position since June of 2009, which is not a long time to evaulate someone's ability.
Things certainly are interesting in the desert....
(Note: Most of you know that I have to approve comments before they are posted. As long as they aren't terribly offensive, completely demeaning to one individual, or just ridiculously stupid, I approve them. Just know that if you want to comment on this over the weekend, they probably won't be posted until Monday morning because I have another commitment this weekend).

Diamondbacks Coaching News
Rico Brogna has been named the manager of the double-A squad in Mobile. I think this is a great hire. I interviewed Rico during the season and he seemed very knowledgeable and certainly gave me the impression that he wanted to do more coaching as opposed to the coordinator role he was in at the time.
No news yet on the Silver Hawks staff for next year. Obviously, when we get word from the Diamondbacks, it will be posted here and on http://www.silverhawks.com/.
Also, the big league club has added a few coaches, including former Diamondbacks star Matt Williams. You can read that story here.
