From the Texas Rangers Media Relations Department: Arlington, Texas - Texas Rangers General Manager Jon Daniels formally announced today that the club has named Clint Hurdle as the team's new hitting coach. The hiring fills the only vacancy on the Rangers' 2010 coaching staff. "Clint adds another experienced, successful coach to our major league staff," said Daniels. "He's demonstrated an ability to communicate, motivate, and emphasize a team-first offensive mentality. We welcome him, Karla and their family, and look forward to their contributions to the organization and our community." Hurdle, 52, was the manager of the Colorado Rockies for over seven years from April 26, 2002 until he was relieved from the post on May 29, 2009. Prior to that, he worked as that organization's major league hitting coach from 1997 until he was named manager. Hurdle also served as a coach and instructor in the Rockies minor league system from 1994-96. He spent over 15 years in the Colorado organization from 1994-2009, posting a 543-625 record as manager, the most wins by any skipper in team history.
