While it doesn't get the same attention as the NFL coaching carousel, baseball's merry-go-round has begun. The New York Yankees dismissed longtime first base coach and infield coach Travis Chapman, and the Detroit Tigers were quick to gobble him up.
The Tigers are bringing in Chapman in a different role. Rather than working with the big league club, Chapman has been given the title of minor league field coordinator and will be responsible for tightening up the defense of Detroit's next wave of young stars.
However, Chapman's history with the Yankees might show that this is a misstep, especially with so many of Detroit's best and brightest blue chips playing on the infield dirt.
