Unfortunately all this discussion of what effect Roger Craig's coaching will have on Walt Terrell is speculative because Craig has retired to Alpine, California despite being offered a contract that would have made him the highest paid coach in baseball. Apparently Craig wants to spend more time at home near his grandchildren. A double whammy because batting coach Gates Brown quit in disgust when the Tigers offered him only a modest (~10%) increase while dangling the big bucks in front of Craig. There was considerable speculation in the San Diego press that Craig might replace fired Padre coach Norm Sherry but Dick Williams went with his old Expo pitching coach. -- Doug Dickerson : !sdcsvax!noscvax!douglas : douglas@nosc
