Pankovits returns to Salem Avalanche
Jim Pankovits will be back for a third season as the manager of the Salem Avalanche, the Houston Astros announced on Friday.
Pankovits led Salem to the playoffs the past two seasons, a feat completed just once in the previous 18 seasons before his arrival in Salem.
Trainer Eric Montague is also back for another season. The new hitting coach for 2008 will be Alex Eckleman -- an all-Big Ten performer as a second baseman for Ohio State who played nine seasons of minor-league ball.
No word yet on the new pitching coach.
