Sandy Alomar Sr. and First Base Coach Luis Alicea will not be returning for the 2010 season.

According to a team press release, Razor Shines and Catching Instructor Sandy Alomar Jr. will be part of the team’s coaching staff in 2010 in yet to be determined roles.

The release also reads, “Howard Johnson, Dan Warthen and Bullpen Coach Randy Niemann will return to Jerry Manuel’s staff in the same positions next year.”

…Hmmm, Jerry Manuel’s staff, which must mean he too is returning in 2010… also, i bet razor moves to bench coach, in place of alomar… razor and jerry are tight, and razor’s positives, i.e. his attittude, positivity and encouragement, are probably better served sitting by jerry’s side…
