Richard Durrett of ESPN Dallas reports that the Rangers have hired?Shayne Kelley as a major league staff assistant and that one of his duties will be to serve as Josh Hamilton?s new accountability partner.
Kelley has a pretty diverse background, serving as the Royals? minor league strength and conditioning coach for two seasons and the?team chaplain at Alabama from 1996-1999. As such, part of his duties will also include helping out the Rangers? coaching staff and hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh.
Kelley will take over the role vacated by Jerry Narron, who took the hitting coach job with the Brewers this offseason.?Hamilton?s father-in-law, Michael Dean Chadwick, originally volunteered to replace Narron, but had a change of heart last month after discussing the matter further with his family. Chadwick said at the time that he didn?t think an accountability partner was even necessary, but the matter is obviously of increased importance following Hamilton?s relapse with alcohol?at a Dallas-Fort Worth area bar last Monday night.
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said that Kelley has already begun his duties, as he traveled with Hamilton during his visit with MLB and MLBPA doctors yesterday in New York.
