Diamondbacks promote Narron to bench coach

Narron remained as a coach with the Diamondbacks after Gardenhire returned. Narron managed the Texas Rangers in 2001-02 and the Cincinnati Reds from 2005 to 2007. He also had stints as bench coach with Milwaukee, Cincinnati and Boston. The Diamondbacks added Luis "Pipe" Urueta as coach and did not renew the contract of Ariel Prieto as coach and interpreter. Ken Crenshaw was promoted to the new position of director of sports medicine, performance. There were no other changes from last season's staff.No one has shouted yet.
