Who's running the Otters?

The Evansville Otters have become the second Frontier League team to change managers before the all-star break. Wayne Krenchicki has been fired as manager of the Evansville Otters and his entire coaching staff has been let go.

So when the Wild Things begin a six-game road trip tonight in Evansville, who will be calling the shots from the dugout for the Otters? The team's website still lists Krenchicki as manager, as does the Frontier League roster site. A story in the Evansville Courier Press about Krenchicki's firing mentions that Otters owner Bill Bussing did not reveal his new coaching staff Monday, the day of the firing.

Read the story here.

UPDATE: WJPA Radio's Randy Gore will have an interview with Bussing during the pregame show tonight.

UPDATE #2: According to the Frontier League website, the Wild Things signed pitcher Greg Byron, a pitcher from Canada who is living in Florida. Byron pitched in two games for Quebec in the Can-Am League last month and was released. Also, Bill McKeon was listed as interim manager in Evansville but the Otters' website has a story about the hiring of Andy McCauley as its new manager. McCauley guided the London Werewolves to the 1999 Frontier League championship. Former major league pitcher Rick DeHart will join McCauley's coaching staff.
