[Giants]

What I noticed:

- Majority of those in important roles are between 41 and 46 years old. 

   * Vitello, HC (46), 
   * Bench Coach, Jayce Tingler (45) spend the  past four seasons as the bench coach for the Twins, and managed the Padres for two seasons to a 116-106 record. Finished second in NL Manager of the year. Worked for the Texas Rangers for 13 years. He and Vitello were teammates at Missouri
   * 3B coach Hector Borg (40), lots of  experience for a 40 year old, 
   * 1B coach Shane Robinson (41). Both the 3B and 1B coach are on a MLB staff for the first time, but he was baserunning coordinator with the Mets who were fifth in stolen bases in MLB and first in stolen base percentage.
   * Hitting coach Hunter Mense (41). Assistant hitting coach for the Blue Jays for four years. This year, they led MLB in BA, OBP and hits, struck out the second fewest times, lowest strikeout rate in the majors, highest contact rate of any club.
   * Pitching coach Justin Meccage (45) was the pitching coach for AAA Nashville in the Brewers oranization. In 20 teams, they had the third best ERA, second fewest homers, second fewest walks, thire best WHIP. Coached multiple positions for the Pirates. His assistant, Christian Wonders is 33. Has worked in the Rays, Padres, and Red Sox system. Has coached both Patrick Bailey and Christian Koss
   * Bullpen coach Jesse Chavez (42), 18 year MLB career. 1.42 ERA in 11 postseason games

- Two old guys are terrific

   * Infield coach Ron Washington (73) has his work cut out for him with Arraez, Eldridge and Devers. 30 years as MLB coach. Managed Texas to two AL pennants, 3B coach for the Braves. Numerous Gold Glove infielders  including Dansby Swanson, Freddie Freeman, Adrian Beltre, Michael Young, and Eric Chavez. Taught Hatteberg how to play first  base.

   * Director of ML Pitching Frank Anderson (66) comes from U/Tennessee where he was  Vitello's pitching coach. He's a college coach who has coached more than 100 pitchers selected in the MLB draft including 10 first rounders.

- Returning to the Giants are:

   * Assistant Hitting  Coach Oscar Bernard
   * Quality Control Coach Taira Uematsu
   * Bullpen Catcher Eliezer Zambrano
   * Field Coordinator/Catching Coach Alex Burg (promoted)

Who said 73 is old?  ;)
