That's good news for Jays fans. Thanks for the response.

I think his specialty is working with young arms. He did really well in Cleveland.

As Boston Boxer mentioned, he has a reputation for being very good at developing and working with young pitchers. From the Jay's point of view he is the perfect choice. I were really excited if I were a Jays fan. Of course, as a Red Sox fan, I'm less than thrilled that he and his intimate knowledge of the Sox pitching staff go to a division rival.
More on his past from the Globe:
"He was Cleveland's player development director for five years and Boston's pitching coach the past four seasons. He pitched in the majors for parts of eight seasons with Cleveland, California and Detroit. His final season was 1996."
