    When the Seattle Mariners report to Peoria, Ariz. for spring training next year, there will likely be one of their former managers there - Jim Lefebvre.

    Lefebvre, who managed the Mariners from 1989-91, is the front-runner to become the San Diego Padres hitting coach.

    As is the way in the majors, it's Lefebvre's connections that will allow him to replace Wally Joyner.

    Before - and after - managing the Mariners, Lefebvre was the batting coach in Oakland under then-general manager Sandy Alderson.

    Alderson is now the CEO in San Diego.

    If you'd like to read a bit more, the San Diego Union Tribune has a story.
