First Mention on The Phillies Room:  October 23, 2015 - Rick Kranitz was named the team's new bullpen coach, taking over for the departed Rod Nichols.  Kranitz was the Brewers pitching coach for the past five seasons (2011-2015) and he also served in that role with the Orioles (2008-2010) and Marlins (2006-2007).  Kranitz has been appearing on minor league and team issued baseball cards since 1980, but he's never been featured on a mainstream release.
