OK, so here it goes. The staff here at Marlin Maniac, namely Kevin Kraczkowski was doing a simple search of our Twitter page about the Miami Marlins and discovered something interesting. Former Major League pitcher Frank Viola was leaving the Mets organization, per a story on MLB.com. Viola had been a pitching coach in the Mets minor league system at the Double-A and Triple-A level.
That’s not the most interesting thing Kraczkowski found in looking over the Twitter page as Viola’s wife Kathy is now following us. If you have been following us the past few days, you know the Marlins, who finished the season 63-98 just cleaned out so to speak, letting go four coaches from manager Don Mattingly’s staff.
