Brewers fill out coaching staff
Sports Network | November 04, 2008
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday announced most of the coaching staff of new manager Ken Macha.
Macha was announced as the new skipper this past Thursday, and will have Dale Sveum as his hitting coach. Sveum, returning for his fourth season with the Brewers, served as interim manager for Milwaukee's final 12 games of the 2008 regular season after Ned Yost was fired. Sveum led the Brewers to the playoffs as the National League wild card.
Also on Macha's staff is Bill Castro, who agreed to terms to return for his 18th season as bullpen coach.
Ed Sedar returns for his third season as first-base coach, while Brad Fischer will be the third-base coach. Fischer spent last season in the Pittsburgh organization as a minor league catching coordinator.
Pitching and bench coach positions have not yet been filled, though Castro is a candidate for the pitching coach vacancy.
