Open Extended ReactionsFormer big league All-Star infielder Bret Boone was hired Monday as a hitting coach for the Texas Rangers, who are last in the American League in runs scored. It will be the first time Boone, the 56-year-old older brother of New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone, is on a major league coaching staff. Bret Boone will join the Rangers on Tuesday for the opener of their three-game series in Boston. Chris Young, the Rangers' president of baseball operations, said Boone would work with hitting coach Justin Viele and assistant hitting coach Seth Conner, who both remain on manager Bruce Bochy's staff. The Rangers led the AL during their championship season, hitting .263 with 5.4 runs per game before slipping to .238 and scoring 4.2 runs a game last year.
