Doesn't sound like there is any controversy here, though. Luchy Guerra had started her own business and wanted to devote more time to it. She was one of the truly good people in the organization, just a really nice lady who cared deeply about the players she helped set up in the U.S. Here's hoping her new venture is a smashing success, and I'm betting it will be. ... Also, Angel Chavez cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas, where he got a hit last night. And Terry Tiffee, who was in big-league camp as a non-roster infielder, is off to a 19-for-31 start for the 51s. That's a .613 average if you're scoring at home. ... Anyway, here is the note on Luchy, which will be in tomorrow's paper. (it'll probably be a lot shorter for tomorrow's paper).

Luchy Guerra, the Dodgers assistant director of international player development, has left the organization to devote more attention to her new business venture. Guerra, who had been with the organization for the past 15 years, was in charge of helping players signed from Latin American countries adjust to life in the United States by helping them find housing, set up bank accounts, etc., at the club's various minor-league cities.
Guerra now plans to perform the same service on a more at-large basis around baseball, with more of an emphasis on major-league players.
``I'm calling it Athletes Life Management Group,'' she said. ``It's basically a concierge service to help players get relocated. Say a player gets traded to Boston. I can get the player a condo or an apartment or whatever he needs. Obviously, I'll have agents and players as clients, so I will still be around Dodger Stadium a lot.''
Guerra has long been considered an almost indispensable part of the Dodgers organization because of the service she provided to the countless Latin American players the club signs. It isn't immediately clear whether the club would replace her, but Guerra said she hoped to stay on in a consulting role.
``I needed to (leave) because I wasn't paying enough attention to the business,'' Guerra said. ``I figured the sooner the better. Working in the minor leagues and being involved internationally is busy, busy work.''
