Notes
Detroit— It appears there were too many obstacles in the way for Pat Murphyto join the Brewers' coaching staff.
Murphy, who manages San Diego's Class AAA El Paso affiliate, was the coach at Notre Dame when Brewers manager CraigCounsell played his college ball there. Murphy went on to a long, successful stint as coach at Arizona State, but the two remained close and Counsell reportedly had interest in adding him to his coaching staff.
The Padres apparently did not want to release Murphy from his contract with that organization, however, preventing any chance of the move happening.
