So the Dodgers have chosen their manager, a significant to-do scratched off their busy off-season list.
The list, of course, is Rapunzel-hair long, but somewhere in its upper reaches will be new Manager Dave Roberts naming his coaching staff. Assuming he gets to.
The staff figures to be dramatically different from the one last seen under Don Mattingly. Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt has reportedly agreed to return, but after that it’s something of a free fall. First base coach Davey Lopes has signed with the Nationals, third base coach Ron Roenicke has returned to the Angels, bench coach Tim Wallach may follow Mattingly to the Marlins and hitting coach Mark McGwire is reportedly in discussions with the Padres to be their bench coach.
