Digging in a little, seems like a pretty solid hire. Good breadth of experience for solid organizations.

I think Shelton could be a good bench coach(hitting coach too). I thought this was interesting

Does this mean frequent visits to Target Field from Gwen Stepfani?

Deals with the angry parents whose kids sit on the bench. I've heard Mrs. Garver is quite formidable.

game day bench coach is 2nd in command to the manager and offers advice and feedback to the manager. They fill in when the manager can’t such as when the manager gets tossed.

 

the bench coach usually also has other coaching duties such as some kind of position or endurance coaching duties.
