With the offseason upon us, the Phillies have made some of their first major moves of the year. In a lengthy press release, the club announced several new hires in both the minor leagues and the front office.
Among the hires in the minor league systems is Greg Legg, who will manage a talented Reading Fightin’ Phils. Legg played 14 games over two seasons for the Phillies in the late-80’s, and spent 11 seasons in the Phillies minor league system as a player.
Former Reading manager, Dusty Wathan, was promoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. John Mizerock will join the Reading coaching staff after spending time in Philadelphia.
