November 16, 201213 yr Author Who? "You might not know the names, but you will know the winning results." - David "the keebler elf" Samson Samson doesn't know the names either.
November 16, 201213 yr Who cares Carlo Amado "Chuck" Hernandez (born November 11, 1960 in Tampa, Florida) is a coach in Major League Baseball. He has served as pitching coach for the California Angels (1993–96), Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2004–05), and Detroit Tigers (2006–08). In 2009, he served as the bullpen coach for the Cleveland Indians, but was fired along with Manager Eric Wedge and the rest of the staff at the season's end. Hernandez is currently the pitching coach for the GCL Phillies. Prior to his coaching career, he played in the New York Yankees minor league system from 1979 to 1983. He also played part of the 1983 season in the Chicago White Sox system. A broken arm that year ended his playing career.
November 16, 201213 yr Wow reaching back to the Dombrowski era with the hiring of Leary, he coached for several years in the minors for the Fish before moving on to the Red Sox.
November 16, 201213 yr Hernandez is currently the pitching coach for the GCL Phillies. Wherever this information came from, its a little outdated, the job that he is leaving is the pitching coach for the University of South Florida http://www.gousfbulls.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=36643&SPID=2917&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=7700&ATCLID=205097618&Q_SEASON=2012
November 17, 201213 yr I am ok with Leary but Chuck Hernandez? It has to be the most obscure pitching coach signing ever!
November 17, 201213 yr http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8639997/chuck-hernandez-hired-miami-marlins-pitching-coach MIAMI -- Chuck Hernandez has been hired as pitching coach for the Miami Marlins and new manager Mike Redmond. The Marlins also announced the hiring of Rob Leary as bench coach Friday. Hernandez spent the past two years as an assistant coach at the University of South Florida. He was pitching coach for the Detroit Tigers in 2006-08 and for Tampa Bay in 2004-05, and pitched in the minor leagues from 1979-83. Leary was minor league field coordinator for the Cleveland Indians in 2012. He spent the 2010 and '11 seasons as the Red Sox's major league coaching staff assistant.
November 17, 201213 yr Actual Redmond's response in a text....."Super excited to have Rob Leary and Chuck Hernandez on the staff." Percieved FO reply....."Good boy, Red. Here's another cookie."
November 17, 201213 yr A USF hire. Tino Martinez also has ties to USF, being a volunteer coach and USF's manager's brother-in-law. It seems to me that they're going crazy trying to build ties with Florida in general.
November 17, 201213 yr Thats why they hired Redmond, a mouth piece for the FO. I wouldn't go so far as to say a mouth piece. Yes man seems alot closer to the truth. Or maybe puppet, as in someone they can control. The only thing lacking is Samson coming out and saying, "I remember the fans saying this is what they wanted."

November 19, 201213 yr Actual Redmond's response in a text....."Super excited to have Rob Leary and Chuck Hernandez on the staff." Percieved FO reply....."Good boy, Red. Here's another cookie." are you going to do this now every time Redmond's name is mentioned? It's a stupid boilerplate response to some new hires, what would you like him to say? "Well I'm kinda meh about it but whatevs, my owner won't pay for good talent here."

November 20, 201213 yr More important than any of these coaches visions for the team, this is the necessary question. What is their opinion on coconut water?

"Well I'm kinda meh about it but whatevs, my owner won't pay for good talent here." Nope. But I will say it every time it is obvious he is being their yes man. Mainly because so many argued with me that he wasn't.
November 20, 201213 yr Other than Billy Martin, and to some extent Guillan with Chicago, who else in the last 50 years has been other than a FO "yes man" IN PUBLIC when it comes to dealing with his FO? Only an idiot or someone who's a little mentally unbalanced like Martin (and maybe Guillan) would try that. It's a no-win deal. Guillan never went ballistic in public with any disagreement with the FO while he was here. He took his suspension for his Fidel comments silently. Meekly. Apologetically. Very yes-manish. He never objected to anything the FO did, outside of making a few noises about not bringing up another catcher in September. Who cares about that total insignificance? I don't think it's possible to determine when someone is being a subservient FO "yes man" or even if there is such a thing. We have absolutely no idea what battles go on behind the scenes. If we don't know, how can anyone form any conclusion, one way or another? Apparent agreement is the norm and should be. They're all supposed to be on the same page.
