The Orioles announced several changes to the front office staff Thursday, including the hiring of long-time Orioles outfielder Brady Anderson as a special assistant to executive vice president Dan Duquette.
Anderson, 48, was a three-time all-star in his 15-season career as a big-league outfielder, which included 14 years with the Orioles. Anderson worked the past two years in an informal, ad hoc capacity helping with the conditioning and development of players such as Nolan Reimold and Brian Matusz. Now, he is listed among the club’s top lieutenants, sharing a "special assistant" title with former Phillies general manager and long-time Duquette confidant Lee Thomas. *During a teleconference Thursday, Duquette said Anderson’s duties will involve development and conditioning, while Thomas will handle personnel-type tasks.* *"He can help us in the areas he’s really passionate about," Duquette said of Anderson. "And those areas are player development and fitness. Those are two areas where we’re going to leverage Brady’s passion and leadership to help us develop."* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
