In December the Dodgers announced the 2012 Minor League coaching staff.  There will be no changes for us here in Albuquerque. 

Lorenzo Bundy will remain the Isotopes Manager, Glenn Dishman the pitching coach and John Valentin the Isotopes hitting coach.

Last season the Isotopes pitching staff had a team ERA of 5.73 with 932 strikeouts in 1256.1 innings pitched.

The Isotopes hit .292 with 183 homers last season.

Just in case you didn't know the Isotopes hitting coach John Valentin is the only player I believe (let me know if I am wrong) to hit for the Cycle and turn an unassisted triple play in the big leagues. I recommend getting an autograph from him.

I couldn't find a picture of him but he is the quiet one with the pencil in his ear.

Sometimes I focus so much on the players coming through Albuquerque I forget about the coaches and instructors.

John played ten years with the Boston Red Sox and one year with the Mets.  Come on all you Red Sox fans in Albuquerque you should know this stuff.
