Parts of the coaching staff under new Dodgers manager Don Mattingly are starting to come into focus.
It appears as though Jeff Pentland is the front-runner to become the hitting coach, that pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and Ken Howell will return and that Larry Bowa, the team's third-base coach for the past three seasons won't be back, according to sources.
Los Angeles general manager Ned Colletti plans to announce the entire staff at once.
