11/24/2008 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Don Baylor, the first manager of the Colorado Rockies, returned to the team on Monday as he was named hitting coach for the 2009 season.
The 59-year-old Baylor was manager of the Rockies from 1993-96 and for the Chicago Cubs from 2000-02. He was also with the Mets as a bench coach (2003-04) and as a hitting coach.
During Baylor's tenure as manager in Colorado, the Rockies compiled a 440-469 record.
Former major league manager Jim Tracy was named as bench coach of the Rockies. He most recently managed the Pittsburgh Pirates (2006-07) after completing a five-year run (2001-05) as skipper of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Rockies also named Rich Dauer third base coach, Jim Wright bullpen coach and Brian Jordan as the strength and conditioning coach.
The only coaches to return to manager Clint Hurdle's staff from the 2007 season are pitching coach Bob Apodaca and first base coach Glenallen Hill. Third base coach Mike Gallego, bench coach Jamie Quirk and hitting coach Alan Cockrell were not retained.
Colorado finished with a 74-88 record last season, one year after reaching the World Series for the first time in franchise history.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
