piranesi Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Tino's issues as the Rays hitting coach will probably keep him from being a hitting coach in the bigs again for awhile Well, that and the fact that he was still berating the players eight months later. "I was tough on some of the young players I thought needed to be, not disciplined, but they were walking around like they were 10-year veterans and I was trying to teach them the right way to do things." I think I know a place he'll fit in just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Sure, if you've had McGuire as hitting coach, we know you do not have ethical issues about employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Honestly, I had forgotten about this incident with Tino as Marlins hitting coach. I'd still have no problem with it if he were to become Yankees hitting coach. I really don't think he's going to be the choice for hitting or first base coach.

Craig H Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well holy shit. I wish I could dig up the links back when the Cubs had their GM/President opening because I could swear Friedman had no intention of leaving the Rays for a large market team.

Joe Lucia Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 John Hart in for the Braves As President of Baseball Operations. They are still going to hire a GM Everything I'm hearing is indicating they're going with Hart as prez of baseball ops and no GM for now, with AGM John Coppalella (a "rising star" in the industry) picking up some duties. TBH, he'll get hired by another team before his time "in waiting" is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 So basically Hart turned down the GM job to get a better title??? I mean they couldn't have just offered him Baseball Ops to begin with then??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
