Last night we mentioned we had some big news regarding the 2009 BlueClaws season. Well, here it is.

The seventh manager in BlueClaws history is Dusty Wathan, who comes to the BlueClaws from Williamsport, where he led the Crosscutters to a 38-37 record last year. He won’t turn 36 until August 22nd, and after his playing career ended after the 2007 season, Wathan went right into managing.

Greg Legg is back. The first BlueClaws manager returns for his second straight year as the team’s hitting coach. The new pitching coach is Bob Milacki, who has spent the last eight years as a coach in the Pirates organization.

We’ll have a Q&A with Dusty Wathan later this afternoon.
