NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Brewers filled out their Major League coaching staff Monday with a promotion and an intriguing new hire when they named Carlos Subero first-base coach and former big league hitter-turned-pitcher Jason Lane to another opening.
Subero, who formerly served as the manager at Double-A Biloxi, has never played or coached in the Major Leagues, aside from a brief callup in September. He will oversee Brewers infielders in addition to his in-game duties at first base. Lane, however, is in the unique position of having appeared in the big leagues as both as a hitter and a pitcher.
