Knorr to manage Harrisburg Senators

Randy Knorr will be the next manager of Double-A Harrisburg Senators, replacing John Stearns. From the Nationals' Web site: Knorr spent last season as the [Nationals'] bullpen coach, but [general manager Mike] Rizzo and [interim manager Jim] Riggleman told him his future was as a manager. Knorr said if he had to do it all over again, he would have been more vocal when it came to the pitching staff and have tried his best to convince Josh Bard and Wil Nieves that catching was more important than hitting. "I love managing," Knorr said. "It's a new job. I want to be on the bench." Knorr has a history of success in the Minor Leagues. In 2008, he guided Class A Potomac to a 79-61 record en route to the Carolina League championship. The Nationals have not announced who will replace Knorr as the bullpen coach.
