New Coqui GM (again)

[JDC]

San Juan has a new General Manager, again. The Coqui hired J.D. Caldwell to the post this week. Caldwell comes to Puerto Rico having seven years of managerial experience with the New York Goths of the Universal Baseball Association and the Seattle Mariners in the 1980s.

The Coqui are currently in second place in the Trans Atlantic Division with a 28-23 record and on a seven-game losing streak. Caldwell will fill the vacancy left by the previous GM who was hired just a month ago but left abruptly. Caldwell also has experience as the General Manager for the Portland Buckaroos of the Supreme Inter-Continental Hockey League.

While sipping on a margarita, Caldwell stated, "The PEBA is definitely a step up from the UBA or the Mariners. It's like I just stepped off the plane onto Fantasy Island. Where is that Tattoo anyway?"

Word on the street that Caldwell is a salsa and reggae fan. That should bode well for the stability of the franchise continuing to reside in San Juan with an organizational presence continuing in the Caribbean.

Welcome JD! I think you're an excellent addition to the PEBA stable of GMs (as opposed to the stable in Kentucky). Best of luck!!

Good. I have plenty of experience shoveling manure. I'm sure it will come in handy here.

Welcome to PEBA and the IL! By the way, as Duane used to say, the IL RULES!!!

San Juan is a fun organization that experienced championship gold just 4 season ago! Still plenty of pieces to work with and in the mix of the rest of the IL field behind FLA and WV. So time for you to get to work!

Welcome again, JD. I think you’ll find the PEBA to your liking, though plan on it ruining you for single player ootp games

You’ve got a lot to work with there in San Juan so keep the Coqui strong and fight the IL superpowers for us little guys

Welcome to PEBA JD! Best of luck!

Cool to have another Oregonian (not that I'm originally from here). I'm up in Portland. We have some GM's in Washington as well, so the PNW connection is getting stronger!
