Are you kidding me?
CINCINNATI (AP) -Dick Pole, Dusty Baker's bench coach with the Chicago Cubs the last four seasons, was hired Tuesday as the Cincinnati Reds' pitching coach.
The 56-year-old was a pitching coach for the Cubs, the Giants, the Angels, the Indians and the Expos before becoming a bench coach. He replaces Vern Ruhle, who was sidelined much of last season because of cancer and has been reassigned within the organization.
Pole's hiring completes manager Jerry Narron's staff. The Reds hired Brook Jacoby as their hitting coach last week.
*******
Dick Pole? The Reds better have some good pitching next year, or Dick Pole is going to be the butt (pun intended) of a lot of jokes.

Hahaha. Dick Pole. That's almost as funny as Dick Trickle.
Jerry Narron is an idiot. I've never heard of anyone he has hired. The batting coach was a coach in the minors and his lifetime batting average was .270. I'm sorry, but I don't think you should be telling other people how to hit if you've only hit .270.
HAHAHA! Brook Jacoby. He played for the Cleveland Indians back in the day when they were terrible. It was around the time or some years before Major League was made.
I was thinking the same thing ... .270!?
