With just a few days until the World Series continues, here are three things well be keeping an eye on today: 1. Are more coaching hires on the horizon? Yesterday saw a flurry of coaching hires Greg Weissert Jersey announced as the , , and all added new voices to their staffs. Will the current lull between playoff games spur even more movement on the coaching front? Theres certainly plenty of vacancies that need to be filled, including a of the coaching staff in Miami. The Marlins are surely going to wait to fill out their coaching staff until they have a new manager in place, but the Red Sox, Cubs, and Orioles are among the large number of teams with coaching vacancies that could be addre sed in the coming days. And thats before considering the po sibility of coaches on short-term deals being locked up longer-term, as AJ Preller hed like to do for Padres manager Mike Shildt and certain members of his staff. 2. Dodgers media availability: The Dodgers announced last night that theyll make a handful of players available to the media later today. That includes first baseman , who was sidelined for Game 6 of the NLCS due to the sprained ankle thats hobbled him since the end of the regular season. Its po sible well learn more today about his availability for the World Series, and manager Dave Roberts also figures to be on tap to discu s the availability of shortstop , lefty , and righty . All three of them were left off the NLCS roster due to injuries but could be in the conversation for the World Series roster. One other point of intrigue is that the Dodgers will likely announce their choice for Game 1 starter. The clubs entire pitching staff will be on full rest for the coming series, and it seems likely theyll turn to either or to start Game 1, as they did in both of their previous playoff series this October. Whoever the Dodgers select will be set to face off against Yankees ace , who has a 3.31 ERA acro s three postseason starts so far this year and a 2.98 playoff ERA in 120 2/3 career frames. 3.
