Alex Ochoa’s new role 11.24.09 at 5:08 pm ET
By Rob Bradford

Boston Red Sox 2009 BaseballSome were wondering with the reshuffling of the Red Sox’ major league coaching staff what was to become of Alex Ochoa, who served as the team’s “quality assurance” coach throughout the 2009 season, a uniformed position for the big league club. (Ochoa even served as the team’s hitting coach when Dave Magadan was suspended for a game in June.)

The answer is that Ochoa is going to serve in a special assignment role for ’10, allowing the former outfielder to be exposed to various parts of the organization before finding his next niche. Part of the plan will be to incorporate Ochoa’s expertise for minor league instruction, along with some scouting, while also being called upon to help mentor Cuban shortstop prospect Jose Iglesias.

Speaking of Iglesias, the 19-year-old finished his first foray into professional baseball by hitting .275 in 18 games with the Arizona Fall League’s Mesa Solar Sox. In 69 at-bats, Iglesias struck out 11 times while drawing four walks. He also hit .346 with runners in scoring position.

    I needed to send you the little bit of note to be able to give thanks as before just for the precious principles you have contributed in this article. It has been so wonderfully generous of people like you to give extensively exactly what most people could have advertised as an e-book to generate some dough on their own, mostly given that you might have done it if you desired. Those ideas as well worked to become fantastic way to be sure that other people have a similar keenness just like my personal own to find out more and more with reference to this matter. I know there are millions of more pleasurable periods in the future for people who looked at your blog post.
