MILWAUKEE -- Brewers officials offered new Brewers manager Craig Counsell an opportunity to augment the coaching staff, an idea Counsell had yet to rule out as his tenure began Monday night with the current crew intact.
"I'm still throwing some things around in my head," Counsell said.
Counsell, who has no previous coaching or managing experience, plans to work closely with bench coach Jerry Narron, the longtime baseball man who previously managed the Rangers and Reds.
Narron has been on the Brewers' staff since November 2011. Besides his big league managerial experience, he has been a bench coach for the Orioles, Red Sox and Reds.
