Yanks Make Al Pedrique AA Skipper, Re-assign Tony Franklin

The Trenton Thunder have announced that Al Pedrique will be their new manager.  Al was the Tampa manager this year, and this will allow for some continuity for those players graduating from high A.   Players were developin under Pedrique last year in A, while they have been famously stalling out in AA under Franklin for the past few years.  I don't know this, but I always got the feeling that Franklin wasn't into the new metrics, and by the time a player is at AA he should be done with the crusty, old school side of baseball, and develoing the skills it takes to be productive.

I suspect this move will work out well the the system.
