minor league ducks in a row

The Phillies now have their minor league managerial line-up in place for 2011. It's Ryne Sandberg at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, with Rod Nichols staying on as pitching coach and Sal Rende as hitting coach. Mark Parent, who last year seemed to have a good time with the Lakewood team, takes over at Double-A Reading. Chris Truby, last year with Williamsport, takes over for Parent at low Single-A Lakewood. Dusty Wathan remains with high Single-A Clearwater and Mickey Mickey Morandini, bringing up the rear, is the new manager of the short-season Single-A Williamsport squad.
