DENVER -- Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich introduced Bud Black as the franchise's seventh manager on Monday morning at Coors Field.
The 59-year-old Black, who pitched in the Majors from 1981-95, managed the Padres from 2007-15 and served most recently as a special assistant to Angels general manager Billy Eppler this past season.
Black replaces Walt Weiss, who went 283-365 over four seasons, including a third-place finish in the National League West with a record of 75-87 in 2016.
"This franchise, I've seen from its inception, from the other side, for a long time," Black said.
