The Kernels have a new manager.
Bill Mosiello has been named field manager for the 2009 Cedar Rapids Kernels, the Kernels and parent Los Angeles Angels confirmed Thursday.
Mosiello, 44, had been an assistant coach at Auburn University. He also has assistant's experience at college powerhouses such as Arizona State, Southern California, Cal State-Fullerton and Tennessee.
Mosiello spent four years as a coach and manager in the New York Yankees farm system earlier this decade. That included a two-year stint as manager at low-Class A Charleston, where he compiled a 129-98 record.
Why does this name sound so familiar?
He also managed part of the 2004 season with Battle Creek in the Midwest League, taking over for former Kernels skipper Mitch Seaone. Mosiello replaces Keith Johnson, who was reassigned last week to manage high-Class A Rancho Cucamonga.
Battle Creek! That's why! I thought I had repressed that place.
