Cleveland Indians fans are waiting patiently for free agency news, but in the meantime the organization has taken care of filling out the coaching staff.
The team needed a new assistant hitting coach and got one in Victor Rodriguez, who comes over from the Boston Red Sox.
From the announcement on Indians.com:
Like Willis, Rodriguez comes to the Tribe from the Red Sox. The 56-year-old Rodriguez spent the past 23 seasons as a player and coach in Boston’s system, including the past five seasons as assistant hitting coach with the big league club. Before that, Rodriguez was the Red Sox’s Minor League hitting coordinator for six seasons, Latin field coordinator for 10 years and a hitting coach at various Minor League levels.
