HBT: Lilliquist new Cardinals pitching coach

UPDATE: General manager John Mozeliak told Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post Dispatch that the Cardinals do not expect Duncan to return during the 2012 season, meaning Lilliquist will take over the job without an ?interim? title.

==========

Longtime pitching coach Dave Duncan is taking an extended leave of absence from the Cardinals to be with his wife, who?s recovering from the removal of a brain tumor, and today the team announced that Derek Lilliquist will replace him in the role.

Lilliquist had been the Cardinals? bullpen coach and was the person at the other end of the phone when Tony La Russa?s instructions about which relievers to warm up were misunderstood in Game 6 of the World Series. Prior to that Lilliquist filled in for Duncan during his initial leave of absence last season.

St. Louis also announced that Dyer Miller will replace Lilliquist as bullpen coach after previously serving as the Cardinals? minor league pitching coordinator.
