Pirates Add Infield Coach

Post by 3pirates3 »

"Per sources: Pirates promoting Mendy Lopez to the major league coaching staff. Lopez served as hitting coach last season with Low-A Bradenton. GM Ben Cherington said last month any staff changes would be 'additive.' Do not believe he’s replacing anyone based on my current info." - Mackey

"To update this a bit, Lopez will primarily work with the infielders. Freeing bench coach Don Kelly up to do other things." - Mackey

This is probably a good move, since Lopez can work with infielders Cruz, Castro and eventually Peguero when he arrives in Pittsburgh.

It’s quite the jump from Low A to the big leagues. He must have made a great impression. Let’s hope it’s well deserved.
