Dave Eiland named pitching coach

I like this move. Eiland is familiar with the kids and I find that there isnt just a coincidence in the fact that Hughes improved when Eiland came to the bigs in September. He knows the arms that will be parading through the pen and rotation and would be best prepared for our forced youth movement in the staff arsenal.

Good move. Joba-Hughes-Kennedy are the key to the future, and Eiland maximizes that talent.

Bobby Meacham: Third Base

Really can't complain with this coaching staff. I do think that the staff we've had the past two seasons was all-around better, but this is definately a solid staff.

I'm going to miss Larry Bowa.
