2052-1 Pioneers Bring Back Medina

Pioneers Bring Back Medina

The Calgary Pioneers have hired Francisco Medina to take over as the new hitting coach for Short A Havana. Medina, who played 12 seasons in Calgary, will take over for Chip Saunders who has been promoted to manage Havana.

Medina was a fan favorite in Calgary hitting 437 homers for the team and driving in 1096 runs. The right fielder posted a career .887 OPS and a .555 SLG, 4th place in team history. He is 3rd on the team leader board in home runs, only trailing Hector Cano and Terry Cochran, who both are on Calgary’s coaching staff.

Medina’s most memorable season was 2042 when he hit 61 homers and had 153 RBIs. It was the only season he made the All Star team despite hitting 46, 48 and 51 homers the 3 seasons preceding his monster 2042 year. Ironically in his final season, he played a forgettable 33 games for the Las Vegas Hustlers, but it was during that stint that he won the only championship of his career.

Several coaches have changed roles in the Calgary system for this season. With the retirement of Steve Thomas, bench coach in Calgary, the team has promoted St. Paul manager Nicholas Brody to replace him. Moving up from managing at AA, Esteban Ortiz will fill the manager job in St. Paul. The musical chairs continue with Quebec manager Tony Franco moving up a spot to AA Duluth.

Hopefully he's doing a good job down in the minors for you.

I didn’t look, but I’m assuming his official nickname is “Funky Cold”…
