Hot off the presses. Or, better yet... hot of Jack Curry's Twitter feed. I love that guy!
According to Curry, the Yankees are expected to hire former Dodgers coach Jeff Pentland for the hitting coach job AS WELL AS... that's right, 2 hitting coaches... Alan Cockrell too.
But Cockrell will be an assistant hitting coach.
Source: Yanks are expected to hire Jeff Pentland as hitting coach and Alan Cockrell as assistant. 1st time team will have 2 hitting coaches.
— Jack Curry (@JackCurryYES) January 11, 2015 Interesting. I think I like it.Curry went on with some fun information:
Pentland has been hitting coach for Marlins, Cubs (worked with Girardi), Royals (when Pena was MGR/Beltran a player), Mariners and Dodgers.
— Jack Curry (@JackCurryYES) January 11, 2015 Cockrell was hitting coach for 2007 Rockies team that went to the WS and was also a hitting coach for the Mariners. Played 9 games in majors
— Jack Curry (@JackCurryYES) January 11, 2015 Source: Pentland/Cockrell were impressive in interviews w/ Yankees. Team is very comfortable with collaborative effort of 2 hitting coaches.
— Jack Curry (@JackCurryYES) January 11, 2015 So, when it breaks, officially... we will tell you.
Things are looking up.
