Former Red Sox catcher (and Worcester native) Rich Gedman has been named hitting coach for the Lowell Spinners—a Single A farm club of the team. Geddy played 11 seasons with the Red Sox, hitting .259 over that span. He also played in the ill-fated 1986 World Series. Separately, the Sox named former Giants star Chili Davis as the PawSox (AAA) hitting coach.
