@@@ A鈥檚聽 bench coach Chip Hale, 49, will be announced as the Diamondbacks new manager later today, according to numerous reports this morning. This will be the first big-league manager鈥檚 job for Hale, who will being enormous enthusiasm and energy to the job along with detailed preparation. Hale, who was born in San Jose and attended Campolindo High School, was a star at the University of Arizona and still lives in Tucson in the offseason.

A top candidate to replace Hale: St. Louis Cardinals bench coach Mike Aldrete, who is friends with (and a former teammate of) Bob Melvin and who has worked with him before in both Seattle and Arizona. Aldrete, a former Giants and A鈥檚 player who attended Stanford, is from Monterey and still lives there; he has spoken in recent years of wanting to move back to the Bay Area to be closer to home. He has talked to the A鈥檚 about other positions in the past, including the hitting coach position 鈥?but he was offered a promotion to bench coach with St. Louis in order to stay there.

Recently fired Arizona manager Kirk Gibson was Melvin鈥檚 bench coach with Arizona one season, but I don鈥檛 see that happening; same thing with ex-Rangers manager Ron Washington. Managers usually take a year or two before looking for coaching jobs if they don鈥檛 find other managerial situations. And the idea of Gibson working for the A鈥檚, a franchise he devastated in 1988鈥?well, that鈥檚 tough to imagine. Washington, the longtime Oakland third-base coach, resigned for personal reasons in Texas, which makes an immediate return to baseball pretty unlikely.

The rest of the A鈥檚 current staff also is likely to get consideration for the bench-coach spot 鈥?particularly hitting coach Chili Davis, who has some leverage to get a promotion: the Yankees and Red Sox have interest in him as a hitting coach, and the Cubs may, too. Davis of course has Yankees ties, since he played there, and he was the Red Sox鈥檚 Triple-A hitting coach. The potential of a job offer elsewhere is one reason Aldrete went from hitting coach to bench coach, after all 鈥?it鈥檚 not a stretch to imagine it happening in this instance.
