I think Hyde overlapped with him at the Marlins as well.

I'd be scared about Machado at SS, so I guess it would depend on what the Cubs think about his defense at SS.

Spelled backwards, it's Ecopai. 

Harry would have loved this guy.

I believe it's "anyone but Davis".

Quote from: MLB.com
Prior to joining the Rangers, Iapoce was the Cubs' special assistant to the general manager/player development from 2013-15, and oversaw the Minor League hitting program. He worked with young players such as Kris Bryant, Albert Almora Jr. and Kyle Schwarber.

I won't pretend I've followed them closely, and I know they haven't been putting the '27 Yankees out there, but Texas' offense has gotten worse every year for the past 3 years.  FWIW.

What do new hitting coach Anthony Iapoce,  manager Joe Maddon, pitching coach Jim Hickey, third base coach Brian Butterfield, bench coach Brandon Hyde, and catching coach Mike Borzello have in common?

None played in the major leagues.

That has to be some sort of record.

I thought you were going for "all will likely be gone after the '19 season".

No, but it might mean first base coach Will Venable's job is in jeopardy.

I'll hope we can win 95+ again next season and get in the playoff hunt once again!

Thereafter, it will remain a crapshoot of sorts.  ALL the teams/players are good!

Just like this year, one seldom knows in January, or even May, who will be the top MLB performers in October. 

Imagine if our free agent signings last off-season would have been Brewers' pitchers Miley and Chacin rather than Darvish and Chatwood??

Who knew? 

When it comes to MLB, hindsight truly is 20/20...SO unpredictable this time of year!
