| KEVIN BOLES |
He will replace Gary DiSarcina, who left the organization to work for the Los Angeles Angels. This is a natural progression for Boles, as he moves up a notch from Double-A to Triple-A. The job also has added importance, as the Red Sox have many prospects on the Pawsox that are almost major league ready.
Boles who is 38, comes from a baseball family as his father, John Boles managed the Miami Marlins in 1996 and again from 1999-2001.
The only other change this year on the Pawsox coaching staff is that Bruce Crabbe has been appointed the new pitching coach.
