Nothing like a little staff shakeup right before the start of the season, right?

Rigo Beltran, who as scheduled to be Dayton’s pitching coach this season, will begin the season in the same role at Double-A Carolina following the arrest of former Reds hurler Tom Browning for non-payment of child support.

Taking Beltran’s place with the Dragons will be former lefty specialist Tony Fossas. Fossas didn’t get to the big leagues until he was 30 but he lasted parts of 11 years and made his last appearance in 1999 with the Yankees.

According to a story in the Dayton Daily News it is unclear how long Fossas will be with the Dragons. The best guess is this will be a permanent move with Browning likely looking for work elsewhere.
