He is going to have two kids playing College baseball for the next several years. He has missed nearly all their HS games. Lurking in the back of my mind is whether he might try to work out a deal like Brian Anderson has with the TV side -- Let him miss some time to go watch his kids play.
They have a very capable Bench Coach there that could cover the away time.
Let him have the time off to watch his kid and recharge the mental side of things as well.
