  • A's News Clips, Monday, October 11, 2010 Vermont Starts Work with New
    A’s News Clips, Monday, October 11, 2010 Vermont starts work with new parent club MIKE DONAHUE, VERMONT FREE PRESS, 10/7/2010 The Oakland Athletics are looking forward to their Single-A short-season team having a positive relationship in its new home in Burlington, the franchise’s longtime director of minor league baseball operations said Thursday. “We tend not to move. We are more about relationships, getting to know people, knowing people in town,” said Ted Polakowski, who was in Burlington for a series of meetings with the Vermont Lake Monsters. The A’s reached a two-year agreement last month to provide minor league players to the Lake Monsters. The agreement followed the end of a 17-year relationship between the Vermont team and the Montreal Expos/Washington Nationals franchise. “It was more fact-finding, start to break the ice, start to get to know each other,” Polakowski said about his visit. “I think it was a start of a great relationship. The A’s are a very family oriented organization and we are happy with the our new relationship,” Lake Monsters general manager Nate Cloutier said. Polakowski had meetings with Lake Monsters owner Ray Pecor, vice president Kyle Bostwick and Cloutier. They also toured aging Centennial Field, which is controlled by the University of Vermont. Reports for the Commissioner of Major League Baseball say the ballpark has substandard conditions for the playing surface, the lights and the dressing rooms. “Obviously, the facility report says it is not stellar,” Polakowski said of the field. “I’m not sure whether it played into the Nationals hand on leaving, but it may have.
