1/2/2012-The Santa Fe Mountain Lions are beginning to solidify their 2012 season. The major news today was the hiring of field manager Bill Moore. Bill comes to Santa Fe from Bisbee where he served as head coach for the Bisbee Copperkings.
Here is Q and A with Bill Moore
What type of ballclub are you going to build in 7000 foot elevation?
Pitching that can keep the ball down.
What do you know about Santa Fe?
Very little, I know it is the capital of New Mexico and it is an historic town, I am looking forward to establishing Pro Baseball in Santa Fe.
You were originally going to manage in the Pecos League in 2011 in Bisbee, but the Copperkings did not get into the Pecos League. What were your thoughts on the Pecos League not getting into Bisbee?
I was very disappointed at the time, and now with a job opening with a great market I am glad the way things worked out.
What do you think about the name Mountain Lions and colors?
If we can play like a Mountain Lion will fight then we will be alright.
