What Can Brown Do For You?

Jim Bowden announced this morning that Dana Brown, Director of Scouting, has received a one year extension. Bowden commented on Brown

"I believe that Dana Brown is one of the best young amateur talent evaluators, especially when it comes to pitching, in Major League Baseball," said Bowden. "Recently, we denied another organization [ed: It was the Mets] the opportunity to interview Dana because we view him as vital component of this franchise as we build for the future."

The day after Adam Wogan is shown the door, Brown is promised one more year. Was this the other shoe to drop? The timing appears more than coincidental. However, there are no details about Brown's responsibilities expanding. Let's just hope this reduces any chances Boone takes over.
