Yanks Name Carlos Mendoza Bench Coach

The Yankees have replaced Josh Bard with Carlos Mendoza as the new bench coach.  Mendoza is seen as being more analytically adept and willing to learn. We seem to be seeing a quiet but very real revolution.  Throughout the Yankee Universe old baseball guys are being replaced by forward thinkers.  We're already starting to see it up and down the pitching side.  Last year they brought in a hitting coordinator who was actually a pitcher that can teach pitch recognition. It's all changing at Yankee Central.

It would probably be unwise to try to guess what players and pitchers they might be interested in going forward.  At least till we get the hang of the new school and perhaps get access to the new data they use.
