Dodgers Announce Remainder Of 2016 Coaching Staff

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The Los Angeles Dodgers announced the rest of their staff for the upcoming 2016 season.

Dave Roberts is entering his first year as manager of the club, after spending time as a bench coach for the San Diego Padres.

Here is the rest of the Dodgers staff:

Bob Geren – Bench Coach (first season)
Rick Honeycutt – Pitching Coach (11th season)

Steve Yeager – Coach (fifth season)

Geren, 54, joins the Dodgers as bench coach following four seasons in the same position for the New York Mets.

Prior to his time in New York, Geren spent 13 seasons in the Athletics' organization, where he was a minor league manager for four years (1999-2002) before joining Oakland's Major League staff as bullpen coach (2003-05) and bench coach (2006).

In 2007, he was named the Athletics' manager and guided the club to a 334-376 record (.470) over four seasons until June 9, 2011.

Honeycutt, 61, returns for an 11th season as Dodger pitching coach, with his tenure now extending to working under a fourth manager in Dave Roberts.

Since he took the reins as pitching coach in 2006, the Dodgers lead all Major League teams in ERA (3.65), opponents' batting average (.247), strikeouts (12,605) and WHIP (1.27).
