Rangers 'solve' pitching problems in one fell swoop
2008-08-01 22:17
by Bob Timmermann

Shortly after Texas beat Toronto in Arlington tonight, 9-8, Rangers GM Jon Daniels fired pitching coach Mark Connor and bullpen coach Dom Chiti. Andy Hawkins and Jim Colborn were named as replacements. (Colborn will be the bullpen coach for those scoring at home.)

I was happy with the results of the game. I got a win from Texas "closer" C.J. Wilson for my fantasy team. Wilson also gave up two runs in one inning of work and has an ERA of 5.28.

I am not in first place in my fantasy league.

Colborn has a new job. Well, good for him.

Andy Hawkins as a pitching coach? Yikes.

Are more teams canning pitching and hitting coaches midseason than before? Or does it just seem that way?

2 What's that saying, those who can't do, teach? I didn't even know Hawkins was involved in baseball anymore.

They should hire Jim Leyritz as fielding coach...

Oh Jim Colburn. Every year it seemed he would succeed in a reclaimation project. Be it Omar Daal, Wilson Alvarez, or Jose Lima. Then he went to Pittsburgh and was a failure.

Oh Gagne55 with a name he'd love to change, but can not do so on the Toaster. For two and a half years he went without a double post but now those days are gone.
