 Arnie Beyeler as first base coach, Doug Brocail as pitching coach, Tim Cossins as Major League field coordinator/catching instructor, Jose Flores as third base coach, Jose Hernandez as Major League coach, Don Long as hitting coach, and John Wasdin as bullpen coach. Howie Clark will return as assistant hitting coach

Interesting that Hyde, a three-time bench coach, has no coach under him with that title.    

[Natty]

What happened to Kirby?

Perhaps it is possible that he has someone in mind for next year that is under contract elsewhere this season.  Just a thought.

Is there a limit on how many coaches Brandon can have?

Hyde assuming bench coach, Elias handling the draft, the O's are saving money everywhere they can.

Is "field coordinator" a synonym for bench coach?

Nope, it means they have to help the groundskeeping crew with the tarps.

Coordinator is really a supervisory title.  He won't have to actually help...He does have to let Dempsey know when he is "on"!

[SteveA]

Interesting (or maybe not) that every new coach we hired is older than our manager.

Jose "human windmill" Flores.

Don't mind me, I'm just practicing.

Only 7 can be in uniform but there's no other limit. 

The only other rule is you have to have two base coaches. All the other coaching titles apparently are conventional (I was surprised about the lack of a bench coach and decided to do some digging on this). 

[interloper]

Is there any recent precedent for no bench coach?
