DENVER - The Colorado Rockies have appointed Bill Schmidt as their interim general manager after parting ways with Jeff Bridich. Schmidt also was a scout for Cleveland, the New York Yankees, Cincinnati and the Major League Baseball scouting bureau. Colorado plans to begin a search for a permanent general manager following the post-season. “After discussions with the baseball department heads, we have come to the conclusion that Bill is the right person for interim GM,” team President Greg Feasel said in a statement Monday. He was in his seventh season as the team’s GM.
