Wow, blast from the past for me.  Went to a lot of Northwest League single-A Salem Angels games back in the 80s.  Hines managed there in '85 and '86.

I was just a kid then.  Makes me feel old.  But that makes Hines even older...

Go Leos!

Hey, don't knock it, this could be our best acquisition of the off-season!

[Trendon 244]

Well this is pretty clear a Joe Maddon hire.

I'm hoping that the front office will be able to mesh well with the coaching staff. I'd imagine Minasian and Tamin may want to implement more shifts and will emphasize defensive positioning, and I'm not sure that will mesh as well with an "old-school" outfield coach in Hines and an "old-school" infield coach in Butterfield.

Doesn’t the manager usually hire the coaches?

Wow, I was just thinking the same thing....

I can't wait until he messes up so AO will say something about getting his hiney out of there.

This is fantastic.  Do they even need to upgrade the rotation now?

I wonder if he is related to Duncan?

I hear he can twirl his right arm, point with his left hand and chew bubble gum all at the same time. Who would have thought! Go Halos!

Under Eppler, it seemed like he was making some of the hires.
