Multiple interviews in Scottsdale and Denver went well, leaving Mark Wiley likely to accept the Rockies newly created director of pitching operations position, according to an MLB source.
The Rockies said Thursday that there will be no announcement on any personnel moves until next week.
Wiley met with owner Dick Monfort, general manager Dan O'Dowd and assistant GM Bill Geivett this week. The job is the equivalent of a coordinator position, allowing Wiley to oversee the pitching throughout the organization. He's expected to have heavy influence on the Rockies' big league pitching coach.
The organization was pleased with Bo McLaughlin's performance after he took over for Bob Apodaca in June, but McLaughlin could
be reassigned if the Rockies bring in former Triple-A pitching coach Bob McClure.Wiley is currently working as a scout for the Marlins. He has ties to O'Dowd dating to their days in Baltimore and Cleveland. He has served as a pitching coach, most recently for the Marlins. When the Rockies realigned their front office on Aug. 1, O'Dowd indicated that he would add a new pitching supervisor. En route to a franchise-worst 98 losses, the Rockies ranked last in baseball in ERA (5.22) and average against (.290).
The Rockies continue looking for a manager following Jim Tracy's resignation, but won't interview outside candidates until talking with Jason Giambi. No date is known yet on when Giambi will discuss the job.
The Rockies have been tight-lipped about external possibilities. Tim Wallach and Sandy Alomar Jr. are expected to be on Colorado's list. Brad Ausmus' name has surfaced as well. Like Wallach, he has interviewed for Boston's managerial opening. Oakland's Mike Gallego, a third base for the Rockies under Clint Hurdle, is another possibility, according to Fox Sports.
Colorado is moving methodically in its search given the lack of competition. Boston is the only other team with a vacancy.
