For the first time since Jim Leyland?s introduction as the Tigers? manager back in 2006, newest skipper A. J. Hinch was able to hire his own coaching staff.
He kept Josh Paul, former bench coach for the Angels, who had only been with the team for this shortened 2020 season (2 months). He also extended Ramon Santiago, who earned high marks from the experts for his coaching ability and player rapport.
Hinch added former Dodger, George Lombard, former Nationals bench coach, Chip Hale, former White Sox coach, Scott Coolbaugh and U-M pitching coach, Chris Fetter. They replaced long-time Tigers coaches, Lloyd McClendon and Dave Clark, along with Ron Gardenhire?s ride-or-die buddies Rick Anderson and Joe Vavra.
How do you feel about all these men who will be leading and coaching the players?
