If you've been around the AltLB design thread, you already know what's going on. If you're new here, leave! Just kidding. As stated in the original post, the Atoms are hiring a GM, manager, hitting coach, and pitching coach. Your job is to find out who they are by correctly guessing the characteristic shared by exclusively my staff and not the 20 other men on the board. Speaking of the board:



And just in case, here it is in text form:

Kerry Wood, Ken Griffey, Jr., John Farrell, Sandy Koufax, Joe Maddon, Nomar Garciaparra
Mariano Rivera, David Ross, Alex Cora, Dave Dombrowski, Ben Zobrist, Dusty Baker
Theo Epstein, Carl Yastrzemski, Roger Clemens, Fred Lynn, Dustin Pedroia, Sammy Sosa
Randy Johnson, David Ortiz, Lou Piniella, Fergie Jenkins, Chaim Bloom, Pedro Martinez

This has been going on for a while, so to catch you up, here is every guess (and also the one hint I've given) so far:
