Ron Roenicke to rejoin Angels coaching staff
Ron Roenicke, shown in April when he managed the Milwaukee Brewers, will join the Angels as third-base coach for next season.
Ron Roenicke, who coached third base for the Dodgers at the end of last season, will coach third base for the Angels next season.
Roenicke coached for the Angels from 2000-2010, after which the Milwaukee Brewers hired him as manager. The Brewers dismissed him in May; the Dodgers hired him in August with a mandate to improve their base running.
He was one of nine known candidates interviewed to succeed Don Mattingly as the Dodgers’ manager but did not advance to the second round of interviews.
Roenicke was the Angels’ third-base coach during their 2002 World Series championship season. He replaces Gary DiSarcina, who is becoming first-base coach.
Roenicke, 59, was a first-round pick of the Dodgers in 1977 and played for six major league teams, including the Dodgers. He was a Dodgers teammate of Angels Manager Mike Scioscia from 1981-1983.
