Even before the Chicago Cubs introduced David Ross as their newest manager, we knew the coaching staff could see a great deal of change. Just days after Ross’ introductory press conference, we’ve already seen a few changes – with Tim Buss and Brian Butterfield joining former Cubs hitting coach John Mallee and Joe Maddon with the Los Angeles Angels.
The Cubs have had Mallee, Chili Davis and Anthony Iapoce as hitting coaches over the last three years. Pitching coaches included the likes of Chris Bosio, Jim Hickey and Tommy Hottovy.
