2010's Lancaster manager Tom Lawless has been promoted to the same position with Double-A Corpus Christi.
He'll be joined by pitching coach Don Alexander, who comes up from Lancaster; and hitting coach Stubby Clapp, who gets a promotion from Lexington.
And in a related note, the Astros announced that they have hired Larry Prado - who signed Ryan Braun for Milwaukee - to scout central and south Florida.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
