Giants Looking For A Hitting Coach, Lansford Dismissed
Posted on October 15th, 2009 by admin in SF Giants Rumors
Andrew Baggarly reported yesterday that Giants manager Bruce Bochy called Carney Lansford and informed him that he would not be invited back to serve for a third season as the team’s hitting coach. The rest of the staff has not been settled, but other changes are not anticipated.
Chris Haft of MLB.com says Bochy said the Giants are examining candidates from within the organization and outside to replace Lansford, 52, who joined the Giants before the 2008 season. Triple-A Fresno hitting coach Hensley Meulens and senior advisor of player personnel Rick Down would appear to be obvious candidates.
