Everybody on the Astros' coaching staff will return in 2012, according to Ed Wade - even if he doesn't.
Wade:
"We think they’ve done a really solid job when you take into consideration that we have so many different developing players on this team."
The only one who hasn't accepted is pitching coach Doug Brocail, who needs to check with his wife:
“Right now, I just have to sit down with Mama (his wife) and the kids. Everybody knows I love the job and big league jobs don’t come every day, but I told her I’d sit down with her and we’d figure out something that’s hopefully compatible and go from there.”
Thoughts?
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
