Dodgers' Collins to manage in Japan
Farm director takes three-year deal with Orix Buffaloes
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
NEW YORK -- Dodgers farm director Terry Collins has accepted a three-year
offer to become manager of the Orix Buffaloes in the Japanese Pacific League.
The Buffaloes have a working relationship with the Dodgers.
Collins, who managed the Houston Astros and California Angels for three years
each, has always wanted to return to the dugout. He became the Dodgers' Minor
League field coordinator in 2002 and was promoted to farm director two years
ago.
A year ago, Collins was the apparent front-runner to be named Dodgers manager
by general manager Paul DePodesta, but DePodesta was instead dismissed. New
general manager Ned Colletti did not interview Collins before naming Little
manager, and Collins returned as farm director.
Collins, 57, has earned industry-wide praise for his role in reviving the
Dodgers' farm system, which is now considered one of the most productive in
the game. But a field manager job in Japan would pay a considerably higher
salary than that earned by a farm director for a Major League team.
There are three other Americans managing in Japan: former Dodgers player and
Major League manager Bobby Valentine, Trey Hillman and Marty Brown.
