10/14: Meacham, Monteleone Not Coming Back
Posted by: Patrick
Bryan Hoch reports that third base coach Bobby Meacham and special pitching instructor Rich Monteleone will not be brought back in 2009.
Hoch mentions that Luis Sojo, who manages the Yankees Single-A club in Tampa, is a possibility, as is Willie Randolph. While not speaking specifically of an opportunity with the Yankees, Randolph told the Post that he is open to being a bench or third base coach for someone, given the right situation.
Peter Abraham says that that should not be expected, as it would put added pressure on Girardi, since Randolph aspires to be a manager again in the future. Abraham raises the option of moving bench coach Rob Thomson, or first base coach Tony Pena, over to third.
