GREG NORTON MANAGER

Norton enters his fi rst full season as a manager

in 2011 as the 12th skipper in New Orleans

Zephyrs history.

Norton began his coaching career in 2010, serv-

ing as the Zephyrs’ hitting instructor until June

23, when he was tabbed the interim manager

after the Florida Marlins hired Edwin Rodriguez to replace the

dismissed Fredi Gonzalez. Norton won his fi rst game as manager

that night, an 8-4 victory over Oklahoma City. The interim tag was

removed from Norton’s title on July 16, and the Z’s fi nished 33-40

under his stead.

A career .249 hitter, Norton broke into the majors as a second round

draft pick out of the University of Oklahoma by the Chicago White

Sox in 1993, and also spent time with Colorado, Detroit, Tampa Bay,

Seattle and Atlanta over 13 seasons. He made his Major League de-

but with the White Sox in 1996, and was a member of their division

championship team in 2000. Norton enjoyed his fi nest season with

Tampa Bay in 2006, setting career highs with a .296 batting average

and 17 home runs in 98 games. His 13 career pinch-hit home runs is

tied for 11th on Major League Baseball’s all-time list, and he ranked

second among all active players in career pinch hits (96) and hom-

ers (13) at the time of his retirement in 2009.

Norton makes his offseason home in Denver, Colorado, with his wife

Jaena and two children, Jace and Ciana.

Corbell returns to New Orleans for his second stint with the Zephyrs, having served as pitching coach

in 2005, when the Z’s ranked 12th in the Pacifi c Coast League with a 4.87 team ERA. He is entering

his 10th year as a minor league pitching coach, and his fi fth year in the Florida Marlins organization,

after a pair of two-year stops with Jamestown (2007-08) and Greensboro (2009-10). Originally se-

lected by the San Francisco Giants in the 21st round in 1983, Corbell went 54-42 with a 3.67 ERA in

141 career minor league appearances (133 starts) in the Giants and Oakland Athletics systems. Upon

his retirement, he spent 14 years as a collegiate coach at Lamar (1989-91) and Galveston College

(1991-2002), serving as both Head Coach and Director of Athletics for his fi nal four years at Galveston.

Corbell then joined the Montreal Expos in 2002 as pitching coach at Class A Vermont, where he helped

guide Mike Hinckley to the league ERA crown. He and his wife, Kathy, reside in Huntsville, Texas.

In his 10th season in the Marlins organization, Miller returns to the Triple-A affi liate for the seventh

straight year, his third in New Orleans. He joined the organization in 2002 with Class A Kane County,

before moving on to Greensboro in 2003, Carolina in 2004, and Albuquerque in 2005. Prior to joining

the Marlins, Miller spent two seasons in the Montreal Expos system, at Class A Jupiter in 2000 and

at extended spring training and the Gulf Coast Expos in 2001. He has twice served as trainer for the

Pacifi c Coast League in the Triple-A All-Star Game, in 2007 and 2010, and has also worked in the

Arizona Fall League. A graduate of Southern Illinois University, Miller went on to receive his Master of

Science in kinesiology from UNLV in 2000. He resides in St. Louis, Missouri.

2011 will mark the professional coaching debut for Minor, a college teammate of Greg Norton’s at the

University of Oklahoma in 1993. After playing on the Sooners’ national championship squad in 1994,

where he blasted a three-run homer in the College World Series title game against Georgia Tech,

Minor was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 12th round in 1996. He made his Major League

debut in 2000, and batted .232 in 136 games over parts of four seasons. Minor established a career

high by playing in 83 games and hitting 10 home runs in 2002, helping the Giants to the National

League pennant. Following his retirement in 2006, Minor returned to his alma mater as a volunteer

hitting instructor for the Sooners, founded the Minor-Foral Baseball Academy, and later provided color

commentary on radio broadcasts on the Sooners Sports Network. He and his wife, Allison, reside in

Edmond, Oklahoma.
