Pitching coach is the second position that needs to be addressed. Cody Watson is the current pitching coach, and has very little ULB experience, with last season (2010) being his first. There is a limited amount of viable pitching coaches out there, but Hoshi Kawai seems to be the right man for the job. He coached the Carolina Flyers in 2008 and 2009. The Flyers pitching staff had a rocky 4.31 ERA in 2008, and a 4.24 ERA in 2009, which isn’t good, but Kawai works very well with power pitchers, something I plan to specialize in. Kawai asked for a team friendly contract worth approximately 300K for 2 years.

The next position to fill is hitting coach. Steve Lewis has 3 years of experience as a hitting coach (1988, 1989, 1990) with the St. Louis Steamers, and 20 more years as a bench coach. Overall, Lewis has a lot of experience and a very good reputation. He works well with everyone, so I’m going to go ahead and field him an offer. The deal I proposed was a 2 year contract worth 222K.

I also offered a 4 year contract to the best trainer on the market - Jeff Foard.

I feel confident about Rich Bond’s ability to assist me with team operations as Assistant GM, as he has a great reputation around the league, so he will be staying here in Chicago.
