The Williamsport Crosscutters will be led by a familiar name next season. The Philadelphia Phillies announced today that Chris Truby will return to manage the team in 2010. It marks the first time that a Williamsport manager has returned for a second season since Tom Prince managed the Cutters in 2005 & 2006.
Truby led the Cutters to a 2nd place finish in the NY-P Pinckney Division in 2009 with a record of 42-34. He hit .323 in the New York-Penn League with Auburn in 1994 and spent parts of four seasons in the majors with Houston (2000-2001), Montreal (2002), Detroit (2002) and Tampa Bay (2003). As a major league rookie in 2000 he hit .260 with 11 home runs and 59 RBI.
