BlueJays.com has some more info this morning on Ernie Whitt and Brad Arnsberg. I'll have to say Arnsberg's name sounded familiar but I just couldn't place it. The article reminded me of where. Arnsberg was the coach in Florida who was let go along with the Jeff Torborg after AJ Burnett blew out his elbow. The Marlins of those days used to ride their pitchers real hard and guy like Brad Penny have developed shoulder problems, Josh Beckett has never really developed any consistency to go along with the Burnett. Now knowing this, I am extremely wary of having him as a pitching coach. Ricciardi personally brought him on so he must trust his ability but I know I'm nervous. I will be watching pitch counts like a hawk next year.
