Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox names 2007 coaching staff

Braves manager Bobby Cox said Tuesday that longtime bench coach Pat Corrales will not be back with the team next season.

Atlanta also will be without third base coach Fredi Gonzalez, who was named manager of the Florida Marlins, and bullpen coach Bobby Dews, who will return in a different role next season. Atlanta's run of 14 straight division titles ended this season when the Braves slipped to a 79-83 record.

Atlanta filled the three coaching spots by promoting from within the organization. New to the staff will be bench coach Chino Cadahia, third base coach Brian Snitker and bullpen coach Eddie Perez, the former Braves catcher.

First base coach Glenn Hubbard, pitching coach Roger McDowell and hitting coach Terry Pendleton will return for next season.

The Braves said the 65-year-old Corrales' contract was not renewed by mutual agreement of the former big league manager and the team. He was the Braves' bench coach for eight years following a nine-year career as a manager with Texas, Philadelphia and Cleveland.

Dews will be with the team in spring training and at most home games but will work in the minor leagues when the Braves are on the road.
