Inland Empire 66ers News Release


San Bernardino, CA - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim announced today that Bill Haselman will return for his second season as the Inland Empire 66ers manager. Haselman, held the same position with the Bakersfield Blaze during the 2010 season while working in the Texas Rangers farm system. Haselman's coaching career began with the Boston Red Sox in 2004, where he was a member of Terry Francona's World Series Championship staff, after a 13 season major league career.

Haselman led the 66ers to a 66-74 record during the 2012 season; narrowly missing the playoffs after a spirited second half run (35-35).

Returning alongside Haselman will be pitching coach, Brandon Emanuel. Emanuel held the same position for the Arkansas Travelers (Angels AA affiliate) during the 2011 season. Emanuel spent seven of his eight professional seasons in the Angels system after being drafted by the Halos in the second round of the 1998 draft.

Newcomers on the coaching staff include hitting coach, Brenton Del Chiaro and trainer, Omar Uribe. Last season, Del Chiaro served as manager of the Tempe Angels after spending three seasons with the Cedar Rapids Kernels, managing the club in 2011 and spending the previous two seasons as the club's hitting coach and third base coach. Originally drafted by the Angels in the 41st round of the 2001 draft, Del Chiaro played seven seasons in the Angels' minor league organization.

Omar Uribe served as an intern strength and conditioning coach for the Angels and is now earning the opportunity to be the 66ers athletic trainer for the 2013 season.
