RE: Paul Janish New Baseball Assistant

1. Janisch has been hired as the paid, full-time Assistant Coach to replace Van Hook. He'll be finishing up his degree at Rice concurrently.
2. John Pope has found his niche on the recruiting front and it's starting to pay big time bonanza (as we've seen with the recent spate of commits). From what I'm hearing, since we cannot compete with the schools offering full scholarships to just about anybody, what Pope has started to do-- and found success-- is to go after the quality talent (with strong academic credentials) in poorer neighborhoods; those we can offer full scholarships due to hardship....and it's working.
3. Apparently, the Orioles wanted to keep Janisch in the organization in some capacity (e.g., as a roving middle infield instructor), but he wants to get his degree and provide some stability as his child is entering middle school.
Mucho mahalo for the info
