The big news

Seattle announced (most of) the staff for their minor league affiliates. Of note to Timber Rattler fans.
Terry Pollreisz enters his first season as manager of the Single-A affiliate, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Pollreisz enters his 11th season with the Mariners, including spending the last four seasons as coach of the Tacoma Rainiers. Coach Rafael Santo Domingo and trainer Matt Toth round out the staff.
Technically, it doesn't round out the staff. There still has to be a pitching coach named.

It will be an all ex-Rattler staff in High Desert with Jim Horner as the manger, Lance Painter as the pitching coach, and Tommy Cruz as the hitting coach.

Other former Rattler coaches and managers on affiliate staffs are:

Daren Brown, Manager at Tacoma
Scott Steinmann, Manager at West Tennessee
Scott Budner, Pitching coach at West Tennessee
Gary Thurman, Manager at Peoria (Arizona League)
