Dick Schofield new hitting coach at Tempe?
Please tell me I misread this, but Schofield the new hitting coach? Schofield with a .230 career avg, .308 OBP and .316 Slg. You've got to be f'in kidding me. What's next, Jose Canseco as the pitching coach, come on. I'm perplexed, but relieved it's not at AAA. I'm not exactly sure what the hitting coach at Tempe means however, is this just for spring training, or only when someone needs to go rehab at that facility?
From the Angels.mlb.com, solely to hit the 300 word requirement.
Dick Schofield, a 14-year Major League shortstop who played 10 seasons with the Angels, is the new hitting coach at Tempe, and Eric Owens, who played for the Angels in 2003, will handle the hitters at Cedar Rapids.

Ever read your creative writing teacher's short stories? They're not usually as publishable as yours!

I never said All Star
It's true, some people are better coaches than players, it's just worry some to me given that we have not produced an impact bat from the farm system in a while.

Fred Lynn lofted a ball to CF that Lemon lost in the sun - I remember hearing the thud from my seat.
The Schofield GWGS game was in 1986 and can be found here:

Don't forget...
Of course, I don't think the organization HAS an offensive philosophy, so this may be a mute point. But, I would think that successful major league hitters might have more to teach the Hank Congers of the world than light hitting shortstops or fourth outfielders.
