Highly respected among his peers, he played 10 big-league seasons and spent eight years as a pitching coach in the Yankees system — three with the parent club — before joining the...
Hochevar turnaround still important to Royals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The wheeling and dealing this off-season from Royals general manager Dayton Moore has provided pitching coach Dave Eiland something he never had in his first year on the job in 2012 four legitimate big-league starters in the Royals rotation.
Now, imagine if somehow Eiland is able to fix the talented but perennially perplexing Luke Hochevar, who is in the running...

Eiland eager to work with Royals' arms
It is the mantra of nearly every new pitching coach in Kansas City over the years: Trust your stuff, pound the strike zone, get ahead in the count, etc.

Often.
Eiland was officially hired Tuesday to replace Bob McClure, who was fired a day after the season ended.
McClure oversaw a staff that was 27th in MLB with a 4.44 ERA in 2010.
Worse yet, the Royals led the American League in walks with 557,...

No Man is Dave Eiland
Rob Neyer notes why Dave Eiland might not be the best choice for the Royals as a pitching coach:
