The Texas Rangers have narrowed their search Thursday to four candidates -- Thad Bosley, Rusty Greer, Clint Hurdle and Gerald Perry -- for the hitting coach job vacated by Rudy Jaramillo.
All four candidates are scheduled to be interviewed Monday, but no deadline has been set to make a decision.
Hurdle was the manager of Colorado for parts of eight seasons before losing his job on May 29, 2009. He was also a hitting instructor with the Rockies.
Greer, a fan-favorite who had a career .301 batting average with the Rangers, has spent the last few seasons coaching hitters in the Texas Collegiate League.
Perry was fired as hitting coach of the Chicago Cubs in June of this year. Perry was hitting coach with Seattle from 2000-2002 and spent three seasons in Pittsburgh. He was also in Oakland for one season.
Bosley is a former hitting instructor with the Oakland Athletics.
The Cubs signed Jaramillo this offseason to a three-year contract.
