So current bench coach Rob Thomson could be in play, as could former hitting coach Kevin Long — though, no pun intended, I think he would be a long shot. Yankees people really like Josh Paul, whose minor league work with Gary Sanchez was praised, and Reggie Willits, a minor league hitting coach and baserunning guru particularly liked by Gary Denbo, who recently left for Derek Jeter’s Marlins front office. Though Paul and Willits might be seen as just not having enough experience and/or New York-based support to get the job.
