New head Bee in Burlington

According to this story, Jim Gabella, the manager of the Bees since 2004, is headed for Idaho Falls. That is the Pioneer League team for the Kansas City Royals. New in Burlington:
Taking over the helm at Class A Burlington (IA) will be Brian Rupp, who had managed at Idaho Falls (R) since the 2004 season, leading the Chukars to the playoffs in three of his four seasons. 11-year former Major League pitcher Doug Henry joins the Royals organization as the pitching coach for Burlington. Henry, who pitched for the Royals in 2001, had served as a pitching coach in the Atlanta Braves organization in 2006 and 2007. Ryan Long returns for his second season at the Bees hitting coach.
Yep, that is former Brewer pitcher Doug Henry.
