Can Coaching Changes Help Improve 2013 Phillies?
When Jimy Williams resigned from the Philadelphia Phillies after the 2008 season, he left a void that the team has felt since. Williams was a big part of the strategy decisions made during games and helped Charlie Manual bring a World Championship to Philadelphia. Since 2008, the caliber of coaches in the Phillies dugout has declined as has the team’s success, especially in the...

The former Phillie was erratic in the field and he put up some scarily-bad BB/K rates, but he logged a healthy number of extra-base hits and he ran the bases with abandon. He also had some notable teammates...
The Phils have just announced…
…that all of their coaches will be back for the 2012 season. This means that pitching coach Rich Dubee, hitting coach Greg Gross, bench coach Pete Mackanin, bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer, first base coach Sam Perlozzo and third base coach Juan Samuel have all signed contracts for 2012. I will be the first to admit, that I have no problem with the stability of the coaching staff...
