First minority manager for Jackie Robinson's club. I'd say it was about time, but any sooner would've risked Dusty Baker and hooooooooo no we don't want that.

Now we see where the chips fall with the assistant coaches. Rick Honeycutt, please stay!

Not a bad signing. If anyone can teach people how to steal bases it's Roberts

Yeah, me too.

Kinda wanted Martinez but this is ok.

Roberts as some bench experience as opposed to Kapler at least. And Roberts seems very well respected, which I think is important.

We had Davey Lopes as our 1st base coach for years,im thinking he was a better base stealer than Robers ever was, and that didn't really help us!

Ha ha, Villian informed you that Lopes left!

Villian got butt hurt and blocked me, so now sometimes he makes comments about things other people post and he doesn't even have a clue what it's referring to and he doesn't have a clue!

Oh wait, there were times before when he didn't have a clue!

LOL @ the Padres. :L

Not good enough for the ole Padres but the Dodgers are delighted to have him.

What a joke.

I suppose I should update this with the new staff:

Manager: Dave Roberts
Bench Coach: Bob Geren
Pitching Coach: Rick Honeycutt
1st Base Coach: George Lombard
3rd Base Coach: Chris Woodward
Hitting Coach: Turner Ward

Plus a bunch of assistants.

Gabe Kapler remains in his post as Farm Director.
