The Kalamazoo Kings announced today a change in the coaching staff...Slumping to a 7-31 start and mired in last place in the East Division, the Kings have relieved Jamie Keefe, the third winningest manager in Frontier League history with 327 wins presently, of his duties along with his entire coaching staff...
Outfielder Matt Maloney will take over as a player/manager...It is interesting to note that the winningest manager in Frontier League history, Fran Riorda, began his career as a player/manager with the Richmond Roosters...Tyler Herron, a former First Round Pick who is on the Kalamazoo pitching staff, will take over for Brian Lewis as Pitching Coach...
Below is an article from today's Kalamazoo Gazette with comments on the change...According to the article, ownership will decide at the All-Star break what to do with the positions for the rest of the season...AKA Maloney has a nine-game tryout as Manager...
Kings Fire Manager
The Crushers won't face Kalamazoo again until July 31-August 2...Keep in mind that two of Kalamazoo's seven wins came against the Crushers...
