Mike Mordecai to manage minor league team
Scrappy former Braves utility infielder (and outfielder on occasion) Mike Mordecai has been named the manager of the Marlins’ short-season Class A team, the Jamestown Jammers. Since the team’s season ends well before the Marlins’ season does, the Marlins gave notice that he will likely be called up to play for the Marlins one more time at the end of the 2005 season. A few more days in the majors would qualify Mordecai for a bigger pension (based on 10 years of service time). Well-respected around the league for his knowledge of the game, many expect Mordecai to soon manage higher-level minor league teams and, eventually, major league teams. Best of luck Mike!
