Last week, the Brewers took a hit to their coaching staff when Steve Karsay stepped down from the coaching staff, wanting to spend more time with his family. That left a hole in their team to fill before the upcoming season. The Brewers decided to fill that spot internally, as well as promote another coach from within their organization. They promoted Jim Henderson to the bullpen coach position, as well as promoted Matt Erickson to the infield and assistant hitting coach position.
Jim Henderson is a former Brewers player and has been working in the Brewers minor league system for the past few seasons, most recently as the Triple-A pitching coach.
