Who will Angels bring in as 1B coach?

[Angels 1961]

I hope it's a former halo player?

[halonatic13]

[Second Base]

He's already friends with our current 3B.

Considering that Feliciano was also the outfielders coach, I'd assume that they bring in someone who has a background in the outfield.

Some options that come to mind: Ron Roenicke, Darin Erstad, Termell Sledge, Mark Loretta, and Chris Denorfia.

I believe Roenicke also coached the Angels outfielders when he was the Angels third base coach under Scioscia (though I could be wrong). Erstad and Edmonds are former Angels. Sledge, Loretta, and Denorfia all worked for the Cubs under Joe Maddon.

[Stradling]

Scioscia. 

[Duren, Duren]

Isn't Edmonds a broadcaster and part time coach with St. Louis? He lives there and seems embedded with that organization. Also a lot of weird stuff with his personal life. 

Maddon will probably bring in someone he has a personal connection to.

I searched Jim Edmonds to see if he was still working with the Cardinals, and all I saw were floods of articles about his personal life. So yeah, cross him off the list.

I wonder if there is anything less important to me as an Angel fan than who coaches first?

[happybat4]

Willis or Quinlan.

Willits is actually the Yankees 1B/OF coach

[failos]

Joe Maddon’s van

[Angel Oracle]

Termel Sledge 

49er

Sadly, "who do the Angel bring to be a first base coach" is probably one of the most riveting discussions we can have this offseason.

Man, this offseason is painfully slow.

[ELEVEN]

Puljos.

[Tank]

why do we need a new first base coach? what happened to what's-his-face?

[T.G.]

Ohtani will coach first when he can’t pitch any more.

Yes plus shorter distance from coaching box to RF than dugout

[ScottT]

I'm more interested if that usher that was flipping people off will be back....  or the vendor lady with no teeth.... or the crazy security lady that grabbed my camera before the home run derby.

Damn, I miss going to games

[Sully151]

Maybe this will be the time for Salmon to step into coaching. He is close with Maddon, was an outfielder, knows the game, and is a former Angel.

And sell popcorn and beer when not doing that.

Add in fried chicken and he could sell to the players!

[Stradling]

My guess is if Ohtani is a 1st base coach, they might let him warm up in the foul line bullpen when we don't have runners on base so he will be ready to come in in relief, that will be a big plus!

Don’t be ridiculous...

 

 

 

 

 

We will always have runners on base.
