Bill Ladson has the news that 2009 Nats bullpen coach Randy Knorr will manage Double-A Harrisburg in 2010.
Knorr had previously managed in High-A Potomac before taking on the bullpen coach role.
In other news, former major leaguer Rick Schu was named the organization’s minor league hitting coordinator, replacing Ralph Dickenson.
Still TBD are the coaches in Syracuse (where Trent Jewett is managing), coaches in Harrisburg (for Knorr), and the entire staffs of Potomac, Hagerstown, Vermont, the GCL and DSL.

So what’s happening to Tim Foli? Is he staying with the organization at the MLB level? I hope so, I’ve heard great things about him in Syracuse, and I think he might make a good MLB manager someday.

My gut tells me he’s Riggleman’s bench coach.

Good to see Knorr back coaching a team! His talents were wasted in the bullpen

Nats hired Rick Schu, former D-Backs hitting coach, to be the organization’s hitting instructor – replacing Ralph Dickenson.

Glad to read that Rizzo is open to using the talents of guys such as Listach and Grissom in the minors….my Vegas gut hunch says Chip hale 3b coach if Riggs brought back with Foli as bench coach. Hale brought a lot of energy to that D’backs division winning club several years ago…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Mets just hired Hale to be their 3b coach a few days ago.
