The Rockies continue to build from without.
On Wednesday, the club announced that former Reds and Twins coach Jeff Pickler will become the bench coach under manager Warren Schaeffer.
“We are beyond excited to bring Jeff Pickler onto the staff,” Schaeffer said in a statement. “His experience on the bench and the way he sees the game are going to be of immense value to the players, the rest of the staff, and me personally.
“He embodies a tireless work ethic and is obsessed with finding solutions. ‘Pick’ is a big addition for the Rockies. I can’t wait to get to work with him.
