Showalter expected to add Russell as Bench Coach

[K-Zone]

Former Pittsburgh Pirates Manager John Russell is close to become the Baltimore Orioles next bench coach on Buck Showalter's staff. There is still a chance that Russell could become the third base coach, but it looks like a better fit for him as the bench coach.

I do not know much about Russell expect the fact that he had to deal with a franchise that was even worse than the Orioles the past years.

Looks like the O's added Willie Randolph to be the bench coach. Russell will be the third base coach. Showalter now has two former managers on his staff.
