Am I remembering wrong? Or was there some misinformation being posted on this site? Or has something happened since those posts were made to change that information?

Just wondering since so many people here claim to have contacts on the MLB staff. (And, Oh yeah, I don't feel like asking my MLB contact).
That information, I believe, came directly from MLB and the WUA- Davidson, Hallion, and Hickox got the first, third, and fifth openings on the staff. Why they didn't now is anyone's guess.

You're remembering right....I'll leave it to someone else to better explain why.
