Anybody know the whererabouts of Jeff Conine?

["Clank"]

Just wondering, is he coaching or managing somewhere in the minors? I always thought, with his leadership abilities and knowledge of the game, he would make a pretty good ML manager someday. I'd like to see him back here, even as a 3rd base coach at least. Your thoughts?

I think I spotted him the other day playing handball with Mike Flannagan. Or was that Rafy Palmeiro?:laughlol:

Isn't he working for the Marlins in some capacity? I thought he was responsible for getting Jay Gibbons a spring training invite this year.

He's with the Marlins for life. Signed a one day contract to retire there and is now in the Marlins' front office as a special assistant to the team president.

Per Wikipedia:

"After retiring from baseball, Conine began training to compete in triathlons. He planned to enter several events in 2008, leading up to the Ironman Triathlon in the fall. He explained, "It’s the most grueling test in sports, and for some odd reason that really appeals to me."

Conine appeared as a color commentator on three Florida Marlins Fox Sports Net telecasts, September 19–September 21, 2008, filling in for Tommy Hutton. He currently works in the Marlins' front office as a special assistant to the team president, David Samson."

I think it was Conine's Grill or something like that. In Hollywood. Ate there once and he was there. For all I know it has been closed for years now, though.

Is this anything like "Special Assistant to the Traveling Secretary," ala George Costanza?????
