Anthony McCarron profiles new pitching coach Dave Eiland.

In his own career, Eiland says, he was nothing like The Big Three. "I didn't have an arm like Phil or Joba; I worked really hard to be mediocre," Eiland says. "But I studied. When I lay my head on my pillow, I'm very satisfied, not so much with my record or my numbers, but I know I gave it everything I had every day.

"I didn't have the God-given ability to get over the hump, so to speak. I kept getting chances because I did my work and I think that helps me in the coaching aspect. I work with guys now who have ability. I can teach them how to work, how to study film, how to read swings, how to attack guys."
