SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Bruce Bochy couldn’t remember a time in his catching career when he threw out Vince Coleman trying to steal a base.
But he did remember one time he tried.
“I tried to get rid of the ball fast, sort of threw from the side,” Bochy said. “And I strained my rotator cuff. … I haven’t told him that yet.”
Bochy has the chance. The Giants hired Coleman to be a roving minor league baserunning and outfield coach – a role that they lacked last season, when farm director Shane Turner took on those duties.
