If I didn't see the part about Hudson being signed specifically as a coach/instructor, I could have easily concluded that Bloom signed Hudson to be an outfielder, as he seems to fit Bloom's model.

Kyle Hudson has not even turned 36 years old yet, much too young to sign. Now, if it were Orlando Hudson…

The first base coach will be younger than at least 3 guys they've acquired this off-season: Martin, Turner, and Kluber.

Maybe they can teach him how to properly slap asses and hold protective pads.
