And now...for the very first time...never before seen on this blog...a Somerset Patriots entry:
Tim Christman, who helped pitch the Somerset Patriots to the 2005 Atlantic League championship, has been named the pitching coach for the University of Albany baseball team.
The left-hander was 2-4 with a 3.72 earned-run average in nine games after joining the Patriots in August 2005, but pitched his best game in Game 3 of the Atlantic League South Division Championship Series when he allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five in a six-inning no-decision against the Atlantic City Surf.
Originally an 11th-round draft choice by the Colorado Rockies out of Sienna, Christman did not pitch last season because of recurring shoulder problems.
He has one game of major-league experience with the 2001 Rockies.
I picked up the Patriots beat in September 2005, so I do not know much about Tim other than that I've heard he was a nice guy. Either way, the Patriots have landed another former player in the coaching ranks. Paul Esposito is coaching at St. Joseph's (Metuchen) High School, Scott Aldred is the pitching coach for the Double-A Trenton Thunder and Mike Glavine is the assistant coach at Northeastern University.
