Dodger Coaching Connections To LCS Teams

PrintFollowing Eric's lead from this morning, I wondered about the 2010 coaching staff of the Los Angeles Dodgers and their connections to this season's LCS teams. Not surprisingly in the relatively closed world of major-league baseball, there are quite a few ties.
Of course Joe Torre managed the New York Yankees from 1996-2007, making the post-season every year, winning the division ten times and winning four out of the six World Series they appeared in. The Yankees posted a ridiculous .605 regular-season winning percentage while Torre was manager. He worked for ESPN as a guest analyst when the San Francisco Giants were swept in the earthquake interrupted 1989 World Series. (That's not really a connection to the Giants, but I just wanted to write that sentence. -DY.)
Did you know that Don Mattingly played for the Yankees? He has also coached for them in various roles, including being Torre's bench coach in his last season as manager.
Larry Bowa started at shortstop for 12 years in Philadelphia and was a five-time all-star as well as a two-time gold glove winner. He also managed the Phillies from 2001 - 2004, averaging 84 wins per season. Bowa coached in New York for Torre's last two seasons there.
Mariano Duncan was the primary starting second baseman (98 starts) for Torre's first Yankee team, hitting a whopping, .340 / .352 / .500 / .852 for New York in 1996. He was traded in the middle of the following year, his last in the majors. Duncan is the proud owner of two rings in boxes, having won a World Series both that year and with the 1990 Cincinnati Reds. (I know the Reds aren't in the LCS; I just had forgotten that he had two rings.)
Bob Schaefer managed the Yankees' class-A affiliate in Greensboro of the Sally League in 1980 and 1981. The latter team won 98 games, a .695 winning percentage!
Rick Honeycutt pitched for the Texas Rangers from 1981-1983 before being obtained by the Dodgers in a stretch-drive deal for Dave Stewart and Ricky Wright, and also appeared for Texas in 1994. His 2.42 ERA in 1983 led the American League. In 71 starts and 46 relief appearances, he posted a 101 ERA+ for the Rangers. He also made three relief appearances totaling one inning for the 1995 Yankees after being purchased in late September.
Ken Howell pitched for the Phillies in 1989 and 1990 before injuring his arm and never pitching in the majors again. Philadelphia converted him to a starter, and he posted a 103 ERA+ in 1989. Overall he was 20-19 with the Phillies, with a 94 ERA+. He attempted a comeback and appeared in a handful of games for the Rangers rookie-ball team in the Gulf Coast League in 1993.
Manny Mota was signed by the New York Giants in 1957 as an amateur free agent and played in 47 games as a San Francisco rookie in 1962, managing to appear defensively at five different positions, second base, third base and all three OF spots.
Jeff Pentland seems to have no direct link to any of the four LCS teams, but as a player at Arizona State, he was a teammate of a somewhat famous ex-Yankee known for the occasional post-season highlight, Reggie Jackson.

speaking of coaches
I was just watching an interview with Ron Washington. I liked what he had to say about the influx of young talent, and how he felt that the best coaches were the ones at the ML level.

I remember watching an episode of The Flintstones
(they were all made from 1960 – 1966) where Wilma and Betty run out of the house, each waving a rectangular rock, and in response that that trumpet call yelling “Chaaaaaaarge It!”. That’s about since forever.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
oh my god
That Flintstones movie that came out in the 90s that adults hated but kids like me loved had a line where at the store Betty and Wilma decide to “Chaarge it”. I can’t believe that was actually a call back

Indeed it was

@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Yes but I think what he means is
they should have only one as a primary with the other as highlights. Texans only wear battle red once or twice a year, rest of the year is steel blue and liberty white.

The question is whats the split for the rangers
is it 50/50 for both, or is one predominant and the other is a rarely worn alternate, like Rays powder blues.

If I ran a blog of a team that did such uniform shenangians, I would keep track of such a thing.

The Red Top
is only worn at home, and that’s been done 35 times.
The blue top has been worn 17 times at home, 42 times on the road.
So that’s 21.5% red, 36.% blue, but red the more likely choice at home, and blue the only road alternate
by Josie Becker on Oct 15, 2010 6:53 PM PDT up reply actions
The rest I assume is the white
so its a much closer split then 6 or 7 out of 8.

I agree…his counting stats really arent that great considering he’s played 16 seasons..
A career .275/.377/.479 hitter…and a decent catcher to boot.
Its close.
1. He put up those batting numbers as a C. Any C with over 6000 PA and an OBP over .367 is or will be (Piazza) in the HOF (except a [mostly] dead-ball era guy named Wally Schang).
2. He’s got enough in the power dept even if he hasn’t hit 300 HR.
3. He’s a Yankee with a lot of post-season experience. That pushes him over borderlines.

I believe that as long as you can catch major league pitching, catcher defense doesn’t really matter. So I don’t think it gets evened out much at all.

I guess just the few times I've seen him for a full game this year
I’ve wondered about that first part (that he can still catch major league pitching). But apparently he can enough to stay on as catcher. And they didn’t have better options.

The philosophy will always depend on the talent of the pitchers anyway, and from an organizational standpoint it will take a few years to implement anyway since they have to do it at all levels, for the most part.

If you could trade Broxton for Joba straight up
If you could pull of this trade how much of Broxton’s salary would the Dodgers have to eat?
It all depends on how desperate the dumping team is

Totally agree, making Broxton at 7m a set-up man to Riveria makes no sense for them. They can also still turn Joba around. For the Dodgers it would be a steal.

My Point, Which I Really Should HAve Explained Above, Is This:
Are we, as an organization, in a place right now where we should be considering putting Clayton Kershaw on the trade block and seeing what we can get for him? Not quite, but the fact is we are a lot closer to being that kind of team than we are to being one that should be considering a “Win Now!” trade that sacrifices more of our future than Colletti has already idiotically sacrificed with exactly those kinds of trades. Surely, if there is one redeeming aspect to finishing fourth in the NL West, having numerous roster holes, and having paralyzed, no-money ownership, it is that we can tell the poor souls insisting “We are one big player away from winning the World Series!” to kindly shut the fuck up. No, we are about fifteen players away from winning the World Series. AND we have no money. So that’s where we are. 2011 needs to be approached like some sort of rebuilding year. Not “Fire Sale!” rebuilding, but the kind of rebuilding that makes a team put as many young, league-minimum players as possible on the roster.
