He managed the Long Island Ducks in 2009, and also was an Independent Baseball skipper the previous season when he led the Orange County Flyers in his hometown of Fullerton, CA in the Golden League.
He will be missed throughout baseball for a very long time.
GREG BURKE NOW WITH O'S
Atlantic City was Greg Burke's initial stepping stone (2005) when he came out of Duke and started to climb to the major leagues and 48 bullpen appearances for the San Diego Padres in '09. The 29-year-old righty finally changed organizations recently, signing as a free agent with the Baltimore Orioles.
He is on the Triple-A Norfolk, VA roster, but it would not surprise at all to see him get a look from the parent Orioles during spring training.
MANAGERIAL, COACHING MOVES
Jeff Scott always seems to have a key position within the Atlantic League so it could hardly be a shock when he replaced Von Hayes as manager in Camden this week. He had been the Riversharks' pitching coach.
In another significant move, veteran major league and Atlantic League pitcher Bill Pulsipher has become pitching coach for Winnipeg (American Association). Pulsipher ended his 18-year professional career last summer with Somerset.
