I saw that John Russell is actually going to be the Orioles 3rd base coach & coach the catchers (Willie Randolph is going to be the bench coach, which original reports had Russell being hired to be the bench coach.)  I wonder if it's some kind of weird karmic irony that John Russell will be Matt Wieters' coach.

It's going to be interesting to see JR get a chance to help mold Wieters career from now on, and that Russell never had a chance to manage Daniel Moskos.

Now, will John Russell get to the playoffs before the Pirates do??  The race is on.
