    According to MLB.com, "There have been indications that batting coach Howard Johnson and pitching coach Dan Warthen will be retained. There have been no such indications involving third-base coach Razor Shines." …actually, i still do not believe it is 100 percent certain that manuel will be back… from what i recall, the team’s coaching staff will be up for new contracts at the end of this season… i bet Howard Johnson is back next season, since the team is among the best in baseball in batting average, OBP, batting average with runners in scoring position, doubles and triples – not to mention i hear players enjoy working with him, especially Jeff Francoeur… the jury is still out on pitching coach Dan Warthen… however, i bet Razor Shines will be replaced, as will others… …the thing is, manuel should not be a guarantee to return… i hope minaya and his staff take a long-hard look at the quality of play, not only by the last man on the roster, but by the team’s veterans… i mean, it was a sloppy season, to say the least… there were countless dropped pop ups, poor throws, miscues on the base paths, some lacked hustle, and there was a constant issue with poor focus… In case you missed it, on Saturday, David Wright apologized to his teammates for making two baserunning mistakes that cost his team a run, first he forgot their were two outs and did not run on contact during a double by Francoeur; then, a few moments later, jogged from third across home plate, but not before Francoeur was tagged out at second to end the inning before Wright scored.
