Mike Aldrete joins the A's

Mike Aldrete, who has been the Cardinals' bench coach for a few years, will take the same position with the A's. One doubts that Oakland is paying him more, but he's from my neck of the woods (born in Carmel, went to Monterey High School, son was born in Salinas and went to Monterey Peninsula College, where my mom got her AA -- I went to "rival" Seaside High) so apparently the return to northern California is a big deal for him.
