He's 50, and was removed as Girardi's bench coach a few years back.

Interesting.

Meh, sounds like a yes man.

This is a great opportunity for bench coaches and base coaches to get their first gig. Even though it will be with a garbage team, it will probably only be 1 year; future employers wouldn't necessarily hold it against them for having the inevitable losing season with the 2014 M's.

I would be really surprised if they hired on a guy for more than 1 season. If so, whoever they get, Z will probably use them as a scapegoat. Z only got this 1-year extension, after all. If the new manager gets signed for multiple years, it would change things significantly.
