It took a little longer than I expected, by my prediction of Mickey Hatcher hooking up with the Dodgers since his firing as the Angels' hitting coach on May 15 has finally occurred.
This afternoon (June 26), the Dodgers announced the hiring of Hatcher as a special assistant to General Manager Ned Colletti. In his new role, Mickey will assist with player development in the minor leagues, as well as provide assistance to the major league staff as needed.
I'm not sure why it took over a month to bring Hatcher into the fold, but I'm glad the team was finally able to put a great hitting and baseball mind back in Dodger blue for the foreseeable future.
