Ex-Caps manager lands MLB coaching job
Former West Michigan Whitecaps manager Matt Walbeck will be the third-base coach for the Texas Rangers for the 2008 season.Walbeck, 38, was the manager of the Erie (Pa.) SeaWolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers and guided the SeaWolves to an 81-59 first-place record in the Southern Division. He managed the Whitecaps from 2004-2006. West Michigan won the Midwest League Championship in '04 and '06 and Walbeck was named the MWL Manager of the Year in '06.
