Former Red Sox batting champion
Bill Mueller has resigned as the hitting coach of the Chicago Cubs. This move comes in the wake of the firing of assistant Cubbie hitting coach
Mike Brumley. Mueller spent three seasons in
Carmine Hose—hitting .303 with a .378 OBP. His ninth-inning single off
Mariano Rivera knocked in
Dave Roberts with the tying run in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS at Fenway Park. With the departure of
Greg Colbrunn as Red Sox assistant hitting coach, could Mueller be coming back to Boston? Former PawSox hitting coach
Chili Davis (now with Oakland) along with former Red Sox hitting coach
Dave Magadan (now with the Rangers) have
also been mentioned as possible hires by
both Boston and Chicago.
