Not suprisingly, <b>Mitchell Page<\/b> was named hitting coach. He held that position with the Cardinals for three seasons but drank his way out of the organization. He went into rehab following departure from St. Louis and served as the roving minor league hitting instructor for the Nats last season. Page looks to be a significant upgrade over <b>Tom McGraw<\/b> if he can stay clean. McGraw may be rehired for as a scout.<\/p>\n<p>Also joining the staff are former Milwaukee manager <b>Davey Lopes<\/b> as first base coach and <b>Tony Beasley<\/b> at third. Lopes stole 557 base over 16 seasons and Beasley was a winner as a skipper in the minors for the Pirates. The team retains <b>Randy St. Claire<\/b> for pitchers and <b>Eddie Rodriguez<\/b> on the bench but still needs a bullpen coach.
