Hale as Bench Coach
November 2009
DeMarlo Hale has been promoted. After several years of ably serving the team as the 3rd base coach, Hale will now be the bench coach for the Red Sox. He has been so good at the 3rd base position that it’s hard to move him away, according to the coaches. And it was hard to notice him, because he was able to do the job so flawlessly. Few mistakes and usually right on target. That’s exactly what this team needs right in the dugout right now, because the team seems like it’s somewhat in flux. They need to have someone to buck them up or dress them down, depending on the situation. Nice choice, Red Sox, because you couldn’t have picked a better coach for that job!
