Cockrell acknowledged that he doesn't know all that much about the Mariners hitters, but watching them on film and talking to them on the phone between now and Spring Training will give him a good idea of what makes each of them tick.
Alan Cockrell is going to kill himself.

What can I do to get a job like this?

Play pro ball, suck, get hired as a coach after you are released, trudge away in the minors for a decade, befriend future MLB manager during said trudging,
and presto

Or he's going to be killed.

Huh.
Said “adios!” to Dickey and “hola” to Cockrell.
Wakamatsu
Zduriencik
Cockrell
Wetteland
Definitely some new “names” there, eh?

Holy crap.
I stepped away from the computer for a weekend and I missed the M’s picking up John Wetteland as a bullpen coach?

Wait ... isn't he the guy who used to close for the Yankees before Mo?
That’s pretty cool.

What?
Former Expo John Wetteland?
I totally missed that.

My open letter to Alan Cockrell:
Dear Alan,
How does today find you? Welcome to the organization. Please fix them all.

P.S.
Watch “Memento”, then smash Chris Shelton’s head into a mirror costing him the ability to generate new memories. Replace every calendar in his house and change his phone to say April 2006.

PPS
one of the perks of your job is you get a revolver with only one bullet in it. You can use it to motivate your hitters, but you know who it’s really for.

Now that I realize we've signed Chris Shelton this comment is pretty spectacular

As if his face wasn't already smashed-looking enough.
