After missing out on the Manny Acta managerial sweepstakes, the Astros have landed their man: Red Sox bench coach Brad Mills. To Wikipedia we go:
Astros Hire Red Sox Bench Coach Brad Mills As New Manager
Mills, who served as an advance scout for the Chicago Cubs, also managed eleven seasons in the minors in the Cubs, Rockies and Dodgers organizations (1987-2002). Mills served as Terry Francona’s first-base coach with the Philadelphia Phillies (1997-2000) and the Montreal Expos in 2003.
Before the 2004 season, Mills was named the bench coach for the Boston Red Sox.
SB Nation’s Crawfish Boxes will be covering this hiring much more in-depth than we ever could, so head over there for all things Brad Mills. Oh, and spoiler alert: They seem to love this choice.
