Veteran minor league manager Juan Bustabad returns in 2010 for his third season as
Loons’ manager. This will be Bustabad’s 14th season as a minor league manager and his ninth year managing in
the Dodgers’ organization. He is the winningest active manager currently in the Dodgers minor league system.
In 2009 under Bustabad’s command, the Loons shattered the franchise record for wins with an 81-59 record and
earned their first playoff berth. The Loons defeated West Michigan in the first round of the playoffs but fell to even-
tual league champion Fort Wayne in the Midwest League Eastern Division Championship in a thrilling three-game
series with Games 1 and 3 both lasting extra innings.
In 13 seasons as a minor league manager with the Dodgers and Marlins, Bustabad has won eight division titles,
LOONS COACHES
had nine winning seasons, and compiled a career managerial record 113 games over .500 (618-505, .550 winning
percentage). Only once has he led a Dodgers partner to a losing record and his teams have finished within two
games of .500 in 12 of 13 campaigns.
In 2007, Bustabad guided the Gulf Coast League Dodgers (Rookie) to a league-best 40-15 record, advancing the
GCL Finals. It was his second straight year capturing a GCL division championship, following a 32-22 season
in 2006. Bustabad captured his first division title with the GCL Marlins, leading his team to the division crown in
consecutive seasons (1994-95). He won his first division crown with the Dodgers organization in 2000 with Great
Falls, leading his team to a first-place finish in the Pioneer League North and a berth in the league finals. The
next season, as manager of the GCL Dodgers, his team finished first in the East Division (41-19) and advanced to
the finals. Bustabad also captured the first-half Pioneer League South championship in 2005 as the manager at
Ogden. This will be Bustabad’s fourth season in the Midwest League. He skippered Kane County, then a Marlins’
affiliate, in 1998.
Bustabad played professional baseball for nine seasons, advancing as high as Triple-A. A coveted player out of
Hialeah-Miami Lakes High School in Florida, the Cuban native holds the distinction of twice being drafted in the
first round of baseball’s amateur draft. The Oakland A’s selected Bustabad fifth overall in June 1979, but he opted
instead to attend Miami-Dade North College. Bustabad later signed with the Boston Red Sox, who selected him
first overall in the January 1980 amateur draft. Bustabad spent his first six professional seasons in the Boston
organization and his final three with the Dodgers, compiling a career average of .247 with six home runs, 253 RBIs
and 128 stolen bases.
Juan makes his off-season home in Lake Worth, FL with his wife, Zoila. He has four children: Veronica, Juan Jr.,
Jordan and Alexandria.

LA’s No. 7 prospect, according the Baseball America.
Prior to scouting, Crim was the head pitching director at SHO-ME Baseball Camp in Branson, MO from 1995-

He led the American League in appearances in 1988 (70) and 1989 (76). As a rookie with Milwaukee in 1987,
he earned two of the club’s Major League-record 13 wins to start a season. While with the Brewers, he was the
primary set-up man to closer Dan Plesac.
Crim was drafted by Milwaukee in the 17th round of the 1982 draft out of the University of Hawaii, where he led
the Rainbow Warriors to the 1980 College World Series. He was originally selected by the Cubs in 1979 but did
not sign out of Thousand Oaks High School (CA). He and his wife, Deanne, live in Glendale, AZ. They have two
sons, Cody and Jacob.
Michael Boughton begins his second season as the Loons’ hitting coach and his third as
a Dodgers minor league coach. In 2009, he led a Loons offensive unit that set franchise
records in virtually every offensive category, including batting average, runs, doubles, triples, home runs, RBIs and
stolen bases.
In 2008 he served as the hitting coach for the Dodgers’ Rookie-level partner in Ogden, UT. There he oversaw an
offensive unit for the Raptors that set a new franchise record for home runs (89) and third in the Pioneer League in
average (.279).
Prior to joining the Dodgers, Boughton spent eight years as a baseball coach and instructor in the Dallas area. He
owned the Rookie Baseball Academy in Dallas from 2003-06 and was the head instructor at the Dallas Baseball
LOONS COACHES
Academy from 2000-03. His Class of 2010 travel ball select team was considered amongst the best in the nation.
From 2000-01, Boughton served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Northwood University (TX).
Boughton was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 12th round (365th overall) in the organization’s inaugu-
ral draft class (1996). Drafted as an infielder, he was later converted to a pitcher, then back to a position player by
the Diamondbacks. He spent the 1998 and ’99 seasons with the Rangers’ organization. As a player, he advanced
as far as High-A.
Boughton and his wife, Aina, have three children – Noah, Hannah and Matthew – and reside in Dallas, TX.

nings... Made one playoff appearance, losing Game 2 of Ogden’s first-round series against Orem, 7-4; allowed four
runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks in 3 innings as Ogden was swept in the best-of-three series.
College: Went 10-1 with 4 saves and a 2.26 ERA with Orange Coast College (CA) in 2009 and was named

Scouting: Fastball (88-92), slider, changeup... Good competitor, Good makeup... Ranked by Baseball America
as the No. 16 prospect in the Pioneer League and the No. 20 prospect in the Dodgers’ organization. BA says:
“fastball sits at 90-91 mph and tops out at 94 with good sink. His changeup is his best pitch and he also has a
slider that’s inconsistent... Still learning the art of pitching, though he has a very smooth delivery that he repeats
easily... Could blossom into a No. 3 starter in the majors... Says Dodgers Ast GM-Scouting Logan White: “Lean
and lanky and has excellent arm action and an excellent delivery on the mound. He’s a good hitter too, and Tom
Lasorda thinks he should be a position player, but Wallach loves to pitch. He’s got a Hershiser-type sinker and a
hard slider, changes speeds well and good mound presence. This kid is going to move very quickly.”
Personal: Brett Wallach... Attended Orange Lutheran HS (CA); pitched just 2 innings as senior, mostly a
shortstop... Is the son of former Dodgers and Expos third baseman Tim Wallach, currently the manager of Triple-A

Designated Hitter Rule: The MWL allows the DH for all games. A hitter may be designated to bat for the pitcher
in any spot in the batting order in any game without affecting the status of the pitcher. The DH must be selected
and included in the lineup card presented to the umpire-in-chief prior to the game. The DH is locked into the bat-
ting order, but may be removed for a pinch-hitter or pinch-runner who in turn becomes the DH. Player occupying
the DH spot may enter the game defensively, but the pitcher must take the place in the batting order of a replaced
defensive player. This would terminate the role of the DH in that game.
Disabled List Length: Any player placed on the disabled list must sit out for at least seven days. Day one is the
first day following the player’s last game played.
Night Game: Any game scheduled to start after 5:00 pm will be considered a night game. If a game is scheduled
to start at or before 5:00 pm and is delayed for any reason, it shall be considered a day game.
Player Eligibility: There are no age restrictions on player eligibility in the Midwest league, however, no more than
two players on a team’s active list may have five or more years of prior service. A player shall be credited with one
year of minor league service for each season he was active or on the Disabled List of a minor league club for at
least 30 days.
Playoffs: Eight teams qualify for the playoffs -- the teams that finish first and second in each division in the
league’s first half and the two teams in each division with the best two records that did not qualify for the playoffs
based on first half record. In the best-of-3 quarterfinal rounds (Sept. 8-10), the two first half qualifiers per division
have home field advantage, which is the option to host Game 1 or Games 2 & 3. The first half top seed plays
the second half second seed. The first half second seed plays the second half first seed. Quarterfinal winners
advance to the best-of-3 division championship (Sept. 11-13). In the division championship round, the team with
best overall record has the home field advantage. The two division champions meet for the best-of-5 league
championship (Sept. 14-18). In 2010, the Western Champion will host Games 1 & 2 and the Eastern Champion
will host the remaining games. (This alternates year to year).
