December 20, 200421 yr The Jammers! Len and Tommy always said he had a future in managing. Congratulations, Mike.
December 20, 200421 yr Awesome. Hopefully he gets some good experience there and becomes a MLB manager later in his career.
December 20, 200421 yr It will be interesting to see how quickly he climbs the managerial ladder with the organization.

December 20, 200421 yr Amazing. I would have expected him to continue to play for a few more years. Best of luck :thumbup
December 20, 200421 yr From Rotoworld: Mike Mordecai today was named manager of the Jamestown Jammers, the Marlins' affiliate in the New York-Penn League. This must mean he's retired. Mordecai indicated last month that he hoped to keep playing, but the 37-year-old probably wasn't receiving much interest. Mordecai finishes his career with a .245/.303/.363 line in 1,360 at-bats over 11 seasons with Atlanta, Montreal and Florida. Dec. 20 - 3:11 pm et.
December 20, 200421 yr According to the Official Site, the Fish are thinking of bringing Mordi back for "one last hurrah" before season's end. That would be pretty cool, I think. With more than nine years of Major League service time, Mordecai likely will be called up by the Marlins after the minor league season ends. That way he can garner 10 years of service time, qualifying him for a better pension. "They told me to stay in shape," said Mordecai, who was acquired by the Marlins in 2002 from the Expos. "I'd like to get 10 years of service time, but I don't think it's going to kill me if I don't." Credit: MLB.com

I really like that, I was thinking they should do that when I first read about this since Jamestown's season will end first week of September anyway.
December 20, 200421 yr Kewl, I hope he came be eventually win a spot on the major leauge managing team.
December 20, 200421 yr Very good news. I'll have to travel up to Aberdeen to cheer him and the boys on.
December 21, 200421 yr cool news. & nicely done by Beinfest & Co. that'd be neat to see Mordy in a late season callup for a few pinch-hit ABs & the fans could give him a nice little hand.

And congrats to Mordy - I agree that it wont be long before we see him at the MLB level.
