November 2, 201510 yr Bench - Wallach 1B - Hill 3B - TBA Pen - Cornelius Hitting - TBA but likely Menechino Asst Hitting Coach - Lenny Pitching - TBA
November 2, 201510 yr Author Is Butler still going to be the outfield and running coach? Looks like he is gone
November 2, 201510 yr Author There are 2 candidates outside the organization and one internal one for the pitching coach position. None of which are Chuck Hernandez.
November 2, 201510 yr There are 2 candidates outside the organization and one internal one for the pitching coach position. None of which are Chuck Hernandez. Any big names? So it looks like Mattingly is fine with the staff as it was for the most part? That's odd.
November 2, 201510 yr So Mattingly couldn't convince more of his LA staff to come... or maybe he honestly liked more of our guys than we expected? As long as we get a new pitching coach I'm fine with the rest. I didn't hate Chuck but a new approach there would be welcome.

November 2, 201510 yr Author Any big names? So it looks like Mattingly is fine with the staff as it was for the most part? That's odd. Yes and yes, he was in favor of these guys sticking AFTER his guys declined because of their familiarity with the roster.
November 2, 201510 yr Yes and yes, he was in favor of these guys sticking AFTER his guys declined because of their familiarity with the roster. How likely are we to land the big name(s)? Any hints? You da best bruh
November 2, 201510 yr Can't argue the familiarity of the coaching staff here. If he can't bring his guys then might as well go with the status quo. Who would be considered a big name pitching coach that isn't already hired? I can only think of Maddux. Also, Frisaro says the Marlins and Menechino are already finalizing his deal to return. And yes, Butler was good at his job. I wonder if he's leaving out of anything personal with Loria considering the confusion when he was removed from the third base coaching spot.
November 2, 201510 yr And damn, Butler was good He was just so awesomely surly. Maybe it's just an oversight?
November 2, 201510 yr Barry Jackson reporting that Lenny Harris will be Assistant Hitting Coach and 3B Coach. If Davey Lopes comes it will basically fill the role of Brett Butler. Doing baser running and such.
November 2, 201510 yr Author Mattingly will keep Menechino because he has a brilliant hitting philosophy.
November 2, 201510 yr Author Mattingly will keep Menechino because he has a brilliant hitting philosophy. "Hit it where they ain't"
November 2, 201510 yr Author How likely are we to land the big name(s)? Any hints? One used to coach in the division, the other was a coach somewhere last season. Those are the outside possibilities as of now. Could look for more names. Internal guy isn't really a "big" name though we all have heard of him.
November 2, 201510 yr He invited all the LA guys, maybe they don't like him haha a lot of his staff have ties to california or the dodgers that go back longer than mattingly.
November 2, 201510 yr The internal guy could be Wayne Rosenthal especially with Jim Benedict taking his new position. I'm just guessing though.
November 2, 201510 yr "Hit it where they ain't" which the marlins actually do. They were 4th best in the NL in avg last year. Of course they're like bottom 3 for actual hitting stats that matter
November 2, 201510 yr Former Major League Baseball pitching coach Leo Mazzone has an answer to the exponentially growing number of serious arm injuries, and the era of the pitch count, which tends to treat starting pitchers with kid gloves in an effort to avoid the dreaded Tommy John surgery. Make pitchers throw more.
