I am confused by this new hire.
Rojas, 37, will be in uniform and will serve as a conduit between the front office and coaching staff on all issues including game preparation, strategy and analytics.
OK so he’s doing game prep and strategy.
The Mets also have a bench coach, Jim Riggleman, and MLB.com tells me that a bench coach…
A bench coach is typically considered the right-hand man to his team’s manager and helps to foster a positive environment in the clubhouse as well as communication between the player roster and coaching staff
Bench coaches assist their managers in decision-making and will sometimes relay scouting information from the team’s front office to the club’s players.
OK so someone else is communicating between the roster and the staff, and two guys are doing strategy, and one is going game prep. Mickey Hodges does what again? And as I have been asking since April, he’s good at what again?
Just curious.
