Eddie Murray news
Steady Eddie is officially the Dodgers' hitting coach:
Me thinks this is a very good thing."I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it." - Sandy Koufax.
"My name is Yasiel Puig. I am from Cuba. I am 21 years old. Thank you." -
I believe it is too, especially when he hit 504 career home runs, and he spent three full years as a Dodger (1989-91), then signed with my former team, the Mets for two (92-93). He was an absolute monster, getting 3,000 career hits and 504 HRs. This sounds to be a very good move for the Dodgers, in my opinion.Comment

Can he transfer his batting talents into coaching? I refer to a segment of the article referred by bhss89.
What was his record at Cleveland and why was he dismissed?More pertinent, he was a hitting coach with Cleveland from 2002 until being dismissed last June by manager Eric Wedge."A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz." ~Humphrey Bogart
No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference. ~Tommy LasordaComment

I asn't in Cleveland when Murray was fired but it was probably more because of his being a holdover form the Charlie Manuel era that he was fired.Originally posted by DownUnderDodgerComment

I think Murray will be a welcome addition. If you look at their coaching staff, there are numerous former Dodgers listed. This is a good way to get the "family" atmosphere in the clubhouse and build on the tradition of winning again.People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. - Rogers HornsbyComment
