The Springfield Sliders announced that former St. Louis Cardinal Pitcher Danny Cox will be the Sliders Field Manager for the 2011 summer season.
Cox takes over for Curt Ford who managed the Sliders last season and was offered a bench coach position but Curt declined.
Cox served as the Sliders pitching coach in 2009 under manager Jack Clark for the Sliders first season in the Prospect League. Cox spent 11 seasons in the Majors and was with the Cardinals from 1993-1998.
