BASEBALL: Rumblings in the Bronx
Don Mattingly has become the Yankees new hitting coach and Willie Randolph has moved to take over Don Zimmer’s role as bench coach, thus making him, according to Newsday, the managerial heir apparent to Joe Torre. It seems like the Yankees are using their coaching staff to reconstitute their mid-1980’s infield - can Mike Pagliarulo be far behind?
You laugh, but Pagliarulo is at the press conference as Mattingly's guest. Can a "roving instructor" role be far behind?
