New manager Jim Leyland has offered former Pirate Andy Van Slyke a job on his coaching staff, the Detroit Free Press reported. Van Slyke would join the staff as a baserunning and outfield coach. "This guy was such a tremendous centerfielder," Leyland told the paper Friday of Van Slyke. "He had tremendous work habits in practicing. He would prepare for a game by working on different things, like an infielder taking ground balls. He was outstanding. I think he will be a good fit. He went about things the right way."
