IRON PIG NEWS
COACHING CHANGE IN CHICAGO
Iron Pigs GM Curt Schilling announced the team had fired Bench Coach Marco Delgado hired former IBL outfielder Raul Chavez, signing him to a 3-year deal.
“We are nowhere near where we want to be, but having said that I expect every single person in uniform to be pulling the rope in the same direction. I did not feel like that was happening and changes were made.”
Manager Bill Belifore had no comment when asked about the move he was clearly not made aware of before hand.

BACKROOM CHATTER
  • There is outright “feuding” going on in our coaching room. This will not be the last change. The following day 1B coach Andres Vasquez is let go and veteran bench coach Dave Stephens joins the team on a 3 year 225K deal, Both Stephens and Chavez are reputed as outstanding teachers and coaches and both will take on a larger share of the day to day duties.
  • Staying on this topic, Josh Toney, former New York Punisher Pitching coach and one of the best minds in the game with regard to pitching, has let it be known he is ready to get back in the game. Toney, just 47 years old, led the Punisher staff to 4 consecutive post-season appearances from '06 to 2010. No idea why he was canned but this is a very rare opportunity to grab an elite baseball teacher and coach. Nothing public but I've extended a healthy 5-year offer.
  • Truth be told could our current pitching coach act even remotely surprised if he was fired? He can't pitch I know that, but we're last in everything and you can't fire the players.
