Yankees get brand new coaching staff (3B, pitching, bench)

This is not yet official, but it appears the coaching staff will shake out this way:

Pitching: Dave Eiland

Hitting: Kevin Long

Bench: Rob Thomson

Third base: Bobby Meacham

First base/catching: Tony Pena

Bullpen: Mike Harkey

Thomson, 44, was the major league field coordinator last season and has been with the Yankees in various jobs for 18 years. He was resonsible for advance scouting last season and did a lot of the preparation work for Torre. He is a very sharp guy who deserves the promotion.

Eiland was the AAA pitching coach last season. Long got a three-year deal worth $1 million, which is a lot for a coach. Harkey and Meacham were with Girardi with the Marlins in 2006.

Larry Bowa will leave the Yankees for Seattle.

It appears that Bobby Meacham will be returning to pinstripes as Joe Girardi

Bleh. Do we really need incompetence? I would have preferred Bowa or O'Nei.
