I was talking to a former player who was recruited by Brown and was inherited by Schloss when he was hired. This former player said that he was treated like trash by Schloss and reminded pretty much daily that he would much rather have one of his own recruits in his spot.

It's okay to think those things as a coach but you don't tell a player that, especially as nice of a guy as this former player is. I can see why there are not a whole lot of farewell tweets for Schloss from former frog players.

Schloss a great baseball mind, organizer, proven winner ... but he never came across as long on personality or being a "player's coach."
