NEW YORK -- Mets third-base coach Tim Teufel is on the short list to replace departed bench coach Bob Geren, assistant general manager John Ricco said Friday, though the team plans to evaluate a number of candidates. Geren recently accepted a job to become bench coach of the Dodgers.
"We do have some internal candidates that we like, and Tim's one of them," Ricco said. "But we have a couple of other guys that we're going to consider also. We're not going to rush into that, because we do feel like we have internal candidates. We won't wait all winter to make that decision, but I don't think we feel any need to rush into it.
