Instant analysis: Charlie Manuel returns to the Phillies as hitting coach

Who knew Tuesdays could be eventful?

According to Todd Zolecki, John Mallee has been replaced with Charlie Manuel as the Phillies hitting coach.

Charlie Manuel, of course, captained the ship in 2008 when the Phillies won their second-ever World Series. He managed the Phillies from 2004-2013 when Ryne Sandberg took the reigns.

Manuel has exactly 1000 career wins as a manager. His managerial career started as the hitting coach for the Cleveland Indians in 1988. After moving back to a minor league manager in 1990, Manuel was back as the Indians hitting coach from 1994-1999.
