Nov. 27 -- NEW THIRD-BASE COACH

The Phillies have hired Steve Smith to be their new third-base coach, rounding out manager Charlie Manuel's staff. Smith, 54, worked for the Texas Rangers for the past three seasons as a third-base/infield coach.

Makes you wonder if Smith is "compensation" for Art Howe leaving the Phils to become the bench coach in Texas.

We'll have more today at www.delawareonline.com and in Tuesday's print editions of the News Journal.
