Giants name new base coaches to replace Kelly, Hayes

The Giants on Monday hired former Padres third baseman Phil Nevin as their third-base coach and promoted Triple-A manager Jose Alguacil to be their first-base coach.

Nevin, who played for Bruce Bochy in San Diego, replaces Roberto Kelly as third-base coach. Alguacil replaces Bill Hayes at first base.

General manager Bobby Evans said two days after the Giants were eliminated from the postseason that Kelly and Hayes would not return to those positions.

The rest of the coaching staff will return intact.
