Great Lakes Parrish

The Dodgers have assigned a manager to Great Lakes:

The team's release:
Lance Parrish Named Loons' First Manager

The story from the Midland Daily News is HERE.
"It’s really the perfect fit in every way," said Paul Barbeau, Loons’ president and general manager. "He spent 19 years in the majors, and from there, he spent time in Major League and Minor League coaching and managing. And on top of that, he’s a name that local people know and love."

Parrish played for the Tigers for ten years and was a member of the 1984 World Championship team.

What about his coaching staff?
The Loons’ pitching coach will be another former Tiger, Glenn Dishman, who pitched for Detroit in 1997. The Loons’ hitting coach is former Dodgers’ player Garey Ingram.
