Detroit, MI (My Sportsbook) - The Detroit Tigers hired Bob Cluck as their pitching coach Friday. Cluck, the Texas Rangers minor league pitching instructor last season, agreed to a three-year contract with the Tigers. The 56-year-old Cluck returns to a role he last held from 1996-98 when he was pitching coach for the Oakland Athletics under manager Art Howe. He also served as pitching coach for the Houston Astros from 1990-93. Prior to joining the Rangers this past season, he was a major league scout for the Montreal Expos (1999-2001). New manager Alan Trammell already added Kirk Gibson, Lance Parrish and Bruce Fields to his staff earlier in the week. |
