I didn't see a thread on this, but Roland is back with the D-Backs. I don't know exactly what he did with the White Sox, if anything really, and know he does live in AZ, so I was wondering if he took the job because of that, or maybe there was something else going on. I imagine he knows Schaffer pretty well and wonder if he became dissillusioned by his termination.

He's been Kenny's left hand man for the past few seasons. I don't think there is anymore to this other than he'll be able to sleep in his own bed every night and still be involved in something he loves. Two huge pluses in the twilight years.
