I was going through Baseball Reference today and came across the 1984 Expos roster. That team had 10 future major league managers or coaches: Terry Francona (manager - BOS), Tim Raines (1st Base Coach - CHW), Pete Rose (manager - CIN), Chris Speier (most recently 3rd Base Coach - CHC), Randy St. Claire (Pitching Coach - WSH), Tim Wallach (Hitting Coach - LAD), Razor Shines (3rd Base Coach in 2007 - CHW), Bobby Ramos (Bullpen Coach - TB), Wallace Johnson (3rd Base Coach - CHW), and Sal Butera (Bullpen Coach - TOR).
Along with 9 others who went on to work for major and minor league teams.
- Andre Dawson now works in the Marlins front office as a Special Assistant to the President.
- Gary Carter was a TV broadcaster for the Marlins. He also managed the Mets' A affiliate St. Lucie Mets last year, but declined a promotion this offseason and is likely out of a job.
- Max Venable is the hitting coach for the Padres' minor league affiliate Fort Wayne Dragons.
- Mike Ramsey managed in the minor leagues since 1991 (may have stopped after 2003, I can't find any data after that).
- Tom Lawless managed in the minor leagues, most recently with the Orioles' High-A minor league affiliate Frederick Keys in 2004, and is now the Orioles minor league infield/baserunning instructor.
- Ron Johnson is the manager of Boston Red Sox' AAA affiliate Pawtucket Red Sox.
- Bryn Smith was the pitching coach for Angels' minor league affiliate Salt Lake Stingers in 2005.
- Joe Hesketh is the pitching coach at the University of Buffalo, his alma mater.
- Gary Lucas has been a minor league pitching coach, most recently with Twins' AA affiliate New Britain Rock Cats last year.
- Fred Breining is a private pitching coach. :rolleyes:
Does anyone know of any other teams full of future coaches?
