Via Todd Zolecki: “The Phillies announce they have hired Juan Samuel as their third base coach. Sam Perlozzo moves to first base coach.”
Not a surprising move, but it is curious that Samuel, who stole a base or two in his day with the club, is being brought on to coach third, and not first, which will now be manned by Sam Perlozzo, who moves across the diamond. Regardless of who coaches first, the big question is going to be how much impact Sam has on the Phillies’ running game, which has been among the tops in the league under recently departed Davey Lopes.
