2041.2: Brito On Board

Post by Rubaboo » Wed Feb 26, 2020 8:46 pm

The Aztecs announced today that they're again dipping into the former player pool to fill their minor league coaching ranks. The team has hired 2024 Saywer Silk Award winner Iran Brito to be a hitting coach for their newly relocated Rookie League team in Castroville, CA.

"I'm excited to be back with the club," said Brito, "once I was told the team was moving to California I was definitely interested in the position. I'm a Florida boy, there was no way I was going to go to Bismarck to coach 19 year old hitters."

Brito joins former teammates Juan Pablo and Enrique Gomez in coaching hires from the teams "Golden Age" in the mid 2020s, leading to speculation that more hires from this group could be on the way as the team looks to recapture the winning culture from that era in the team's history.

"I think as a GM you have a tendency to do what you know and are comfortable with. I would definitely look to hire some other guys from that time frame if it's the right fit and there's mutual interest." Aztec GM Fred Holmes said when asked about the subject, "Any time you can get guys in that have the intangible quality of being able to win, knowing how to will a team to win, it rubs off on everyone around them. Especially when you're trying to groom young players with an eye toward them being contributors at the big league level I think any edge you can get is invaluable."

Brito will take over immediately as hitting coach for Rookie League Castroville, joining two relative unknowns on a staff for a team playing it's first season in California. He signed a 2 year entry contract for an annual salary of $12,000. If his rookie season on the bench goes well, he could be reunited with Pablo and Gomez next season in Tortuga.
