Pat Burrell has a new job, being announced as one of the hitting coaches for Bob Melvin’s new coaching staff in San Francisco. Seems as though he is pretty widely respected as a coach already, so it’s cool that he’s getting a chance to be a coach in the major leagues.

Phillies news:

• The Phillies chase a lot during their series against the Diamondbacks. Is there something they need to change up to get further?
• Dave Dombrowski is a guy you want in charge if you’re looking for a ring as he searches for his third.
• Sorry, folks. Nick Castellanos doesn’t look like he is going anywhere.

MLB news:

• I think of all the places Rhys Hoskins could go, this would rank in the top five of ones I wouldn’t like.
• Looks like the Astros have awoken from their slumber to hire a manager, promoting their bench coach of the past several years.
• This week is the week owners vote on Oakland’s relocation bid to Las Vegas and while it should be rubber stamped.....what if it wasn’t?
