It was long-overdue. The Bisons have limped through just about every step of the first half of the season and someone had to take the blame.
When you're a last-place, lack-luster-at-the-plate, 17-win Triple-A team, generally speaking, the hitting coach is first on the chopping-block. Hense, the plug was finally pulled on Luis Natera.
Enter Bill Masse. The 13-year veteran at the minor league ranks faces a tall-task at restoring order in Buffalo. Natera's demotion to Double-A Binghamton is only the third such occurrence in the Bisons' Modern Era.
The buzz around the Bisons' press box this afternoon suggests this move was a glorified PR move and that the potential for another shift in the team's coaching staff could be in the pipeline.
Stay tuned.
