    Volunteer. As he told a friend of mine, it's not like he needs the money.

    We may have one of the most qualified and decorated volunteer assistants to ever have coached D1 baseball.

    No kidding. Obviously B.J. thinks this is a payback for coach. Very unselfish of him. He was always one of my favorite players. Played with a chip on both shoulders but could back it up.

    I sooooooooo want this to work. The cULture will be strong in this duo. I find myself pumping breaks on BJ, simply because he hasn’t coached before. My heart says ‘screw you’, but my head says ‘wait and see’

    Not really...for example, Matt Holiday became a volunteer assistant in the last week as well...and that’s just 1 example off the top of my head...

    He's been coached at every level, has a great deal to pass on. It's one thing to coach in HS or College, it's another to pass on years of instruction on every aspect of the subject from griping the ball, delivery, stretching and taking care of your body. He's done it all at every level. Those are experiences most HS or College coaches have never experienced unless they have played in minors and MLB. I'm not worried about the rest.

    So he is not ONE of the most qualified and decorated volunteer assistants? Wow, just wow.

    And for those worried about his coaching experience, remember that this guy has been touched, coached and has spent an innumerable amount of time with the best of coaches in the business. With the success that he has had, one has to assume that to some extent he was a sponge during all of this. That quality is immeasurable and far outweighs any experience that a high school or college coach could possibly have.

    When you see high school coaches passing on volunteers that have spent years in the majors or minors all I can say is that it is sickening to think of the experience that these high school coaches are depriving their high school players of. It can be only one thing - the high school coaches know and realize that they will be EXPOSED by keeping them around. What a selfish act.
