the new Brewers bench coach, kind of a big shock.

Here, here. If we can get Dusty Baker as the "pitching coach" of the Brewers, we will be all set.

They allready named Bill Castro there pitching coach, most Brewers like this move, it is kind of weird 3 out 4 four guys they interviewd for manager are now part of the coaching staff. The only remaining coaching spot is for bullpen coach.

Seems like the Brewers have a fear of rejecting people they interview.

They're building options in house for when they inevitably fire Macha in the middle of their late '09 collapse.

Bob Brenly named bullpen catcher.

I'm not completely against the hiring, even if his managing was eerily similar to Ned Yost's when he was in New York. It's not like a bench coach does much of anything during the game, anyway, and maybe he'll tutor someone like Rickie Weeks on how to take a grounder and throw it to first base without pulling a Knoblauch.

 

I don't like the idea of making Dale Sveum the hitting coach, but the Brewers have pretty much proved to be unresponsive to any kind of hitting instruction, anyway. Losing Maddux to the Rangers might hurt, but it wouldn't have been worth it to keep him for whatever Texas offered him.

 

I do agree, though, that Randolph probably gets the job once Jason Kendall punches out Ken Macha in July or something.

He might connect but Kendall doesn't have the power to knock out Macha.

Maybe if it was in Houston, where he'd be able to use the Crawford boxes.
