The Rockies announce they have fired hitting coach Hensley Meulens and are replacing him with Clint Hurdle, their former manager who had been their assistant to GM Bill Schmidt.

I remember Clint Hurdle on the cover of Sports Illustrated many years touted as a future star. Maybe they meant future batting coach Star. Hopefully he can help the Rockies but not against us of course.

15 years ago, BamBam was the big bright star on the coaching front. Now he is getting tossed mid-season from a hitting coach position with one of the worst orgs in the game. What happened to him? How come he never got a managerial job?

It makes me wonder how many "future managers" never make it to that role. Wasn't Steve Decker the guy before him whom some wondered would replace Bochy? You hear of these guys' names in multiple manager hiring rumors and they disappear, never to be considered again.
