Marc Topkin is reporting Dave Martinez will meet with team officials later this week to discuss a coaching position. I'm expecting that it's very likely Martinez will be offered a spot on the coaching staff and will take over at either first or third depending whether George Hendrick moves to third to replace Tom Foley, likely the new bench coach, or not.
It's not a bad hire, Martinez seems energetic and isn't all that far away from his playing days, although it is quite surreal to imagine that an original Ray could be coaching for us next year. I suppose I should step off of the Ty Van Burkleo bandwagon, farewell TVB!
