Washington Post: Stearns Returning as Class AA Manager

According to the Washington Post: Stearns Returning as Class AA Manager

"The Harrisburg Senators, Washington's Class AA affiliate, will keep much of its coaching staff intact for 2009. John Stearns is returning as manager, Troy Gingrich is returning as the hitting coach, and Beth Jarrett will again serve as the trainer.

The one difference? Randy Tomlin replaces Rick Tomlin (no relation) as pitching coach. The younger Tomlin, 42, spent the previous two seasons in a similar role with Class A Potomac, where he worked with (to name a few) Ross Detwiler, Jordan Zimmermann and Zech Zinicola.

For both Gingrich and Stearns, 2009 will mark their second consecutive year with the Senators. But Stearns also managed the team in 2006, before taking a one-year detour to Class AAA Columbus and returning to H'Burg."
