Coaching Notes: Angels, Dodgers, Mets, Marlins

By Simon Hampton | December 7, 2022 at 2:32am CDT

The Angels are hiring Bill Haselman to be their new third base coach, per general manager Perry Minasian (relayed by Sam Blum of The Athletic). Haselman appeared for the Rangers, Red Sox, Mariners and Tigers during a 13 year big league career. In 589 games, the catcher put together a .259/.311/.409 line with 47 total home runs. After retiring in 2003, Haselman went straight into coaching, working for the Red Sox as a first base coach and then bullpen coach. He took a break from baseball coaching but returned in 2010, taking a managerial job at one of the Texas Rangers’ minor league affiliates.

He continued working with minor league affiliates of the Angels and Dodgers over the next few years, making it up to Triple-A where he took charge of Oklahoma City between 2016-18. He joined the Angels major league staff at the beginning of the year, succeeding Jose Molina as catching coach. Now he’ll take over third base coach duties on Phil Nevin’s staff.

Here’s some other coaching news from around the big leagues:

  • The Dodgers are promoting Aaron Bates to hitting coach, where he’ll work alongside Robert Van Scoyoc, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman revealed (h/t Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic). Bates had a brief stint in the majors in 2009, getting four hits in five games for the Red Sox. He bounced around the minor leagues plenty, but retired after the 2014 season with the Dodgers. While he played just 11 games that year, it was an entrance into the Dodgers organization that Bates hasn’t left. He held a series of jobs at their minor league affiliates before joining the big league team as assistant hitting coach in 2019. His promotion comes on the back of the departure of Brant Brown, who’s joined the Marlins.
  • The Mets have extended Glenn Sherlock’s contract through until 2024 as part of his shift from bench coach to catching instructor, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post. Sherlock played seven years in the minor leagues back in the 1980s, making it as high as Triple-A. He’s held coaching positions with the Yankees, Diamondbacks and Pirates. Sherlock initially joined the Mets in 2017, serving as their third base coach and catching instructor before departing for Pittsburgh in 2020. He returned at the start of this year as bench coach, but will make way for Eric Chavez in that position.
  • New Marlins manager Skip Schumaker is bringing in former Cardinals hitting coach John Mabry into his team as assistant hitting coach, according to Craig Mish of the Miami Herald. Mabry spent eight years with the Cardinals as part of a 14 year big league career (that also included a stop at the Marlins) that ended in 2007. Mabry worked with the Cardinals between 2012-18 as a hitting coach, but left when then-manager Mike Matheny was fired. He’s since been working for the Royals. Schumaker and Mabry played together on the 2005 Cardinals team.

      Because they have a talented roster and they’ve failed to make the Bucs into a championship team?

        because Shelton’s a horrible manager, pencils in a different lineup every game, there’s no consistency to anything he does and the hitting coach is so bad, Cruz hired his own to help him get out of his slump
        It doesn’t look good when your players are hiring their own coaches

    Yay, the Marlins do something! They bring in John Mabry to be a part of the coaching staff! This is what we’ve been waiting for this offseason! It isn’t like the Winter Meetings is about adding players to the roster to make the team better.

    In short, many teams making moves to improve their rosters. Marlins with a red herring to take the attention away from them not doing anything.

    I can’t wait for the press conference from the team. “We didn’t add players, but look how we brought in coaches and office personnel. Hiring a new data entry clerk is far more of a need for our team than bringing in a Closer and a stabilizing bat.”

      Schumaker’s career WAR over 11 seasons is like 1.5. Mabry’s is even worse at -2.3 over 14 seasons. If the old adage about bad players making great coaches is true, the Marlins are putting together a great staff. At least that’s something.

      Don’t get distracted. It’s a red herring to distract from the fact that Kim Ng is doing nothing.

    It’s 9 AM on the east coast. Let’s see how many MLB roster moves Kim Ng does by midnight…even midnight on the west coast. I’m guessing a total of…um….hmmmm….ok here it is….zero.

      MarlinsFanBase;

      Has it occurred to you that short of Sandy Alcantara and Pablo Lopez there’s really no one on the Marlins roster that other teams want badly enough to give up something decent for?

      And quality free agents are not hoping that the Marlins give their agents a call.

        @Samuel

        We have some pitching talent. Alcantara and Lopez aren’t are only trade chips. And we didn’t have problems adding players prior to Ng’s time. Did all of the sudden these prospects develop zero value and players decide they absolutely would rather stay off an MLB roster than join the Marlins…and all of this just happen to occur from this year’s trade deadline through?

    Haselman was a pretty solid player but also a slow runner even for a catcher, so how much experience does he actually have being around third base?
