August 9, 200620 yr Career pinch-hits record holder Lenny Harris was hired Wednesday by the Nationals as their minor league roving infield instructor. He batted .269 with 37 homers, 369 RBIs and 131 steals across 18 big league seasons with eight clubs, winning a World Series with Florida in 2003. Harris played all four infield positions.
August 10, 200620 yr Didn't he go to Jackson High? Why the heck is he not employed by the Marlins? I believe. I know he grew up in Miami.
August 10, 200620 yr We should have hired him as an infield minor league coach. Why? I'm wondering why the Nats hired him as an INFIELD coach
August 10, 200620 yr We should have hired him as an infield minor league coach. Why? I'm wondering why the Nats hired him as an INFIELD coach Because he played third base? When there was no utility infielder available after he pinch-hit
August 10, 200620 yr Well seriously, what does an infield coach actually do? I think in a position like his they just give him a jersey and allow him to like help anyway he can, teach the youngsters about how to play at such a high level and really just work with chemistry issues and um intangibles.
August 10, 200620 yr There was an interesting story about how he and Dave Hansen were handled. They were typecast as pinch-hitters early in their careers and never received consideration for starting jobs.
August 10, 200620 yr so sh*tty of the marlins to let this guy go and not offer him a position like that.
