| 17th November, 2007 - 10:30 am | The Chattanoogan - Dodger' Manager Joe Torre on Friday filled out his coaching staff, which included the return of pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and first-base coach Mariano Duncan.
Torre also will have Bob Schaefer as his bench coach, and Ken Howell will be promoted from Triple-A pitching coach to Major League bullpen coach. They join third-base coach Larry Bowa and hitting coach Don Mattingly, whose hirings were announced last week.
"Years ago, you picked cronies for your coaches, but the game's changed to the point where you wind up making friends with the coaches, but you have to hire them for the right reason," said Torre. "We've put together a good group that will work hard with a lot of positive energy."
Special coach Manny Mota is expected to return, although details have not been finalized. Bullpen catcher Rob Flippo also is expected back. [READ] |
