Coaches Harold Baines and Tim Raines will switch coaching positions this season. Raines will become 1st base coach,while Raines will serve as bench coach.

If they're swapping positions, wouldn't that be Baines becoming first base coach and Raines bench coach? (Silly spelling error?)
The first time I've heard that and VERY interesting considering Raines is easily one of the 5 best base-stealers ever, and well, Baines isn't.

Thanks for catching that Chisox. It was the spelling that threw me off.
