He could be a decent player-manager if he tried that, but I'm not sure if that's allowed in minor league baseball? I believe it's allowed, but I've never bothered to ask lol.

 

Also, it's weird that his first coaching job is at AAA. Usually you start lower on the totem pole of minor league affiliates and work your way up.
