Tennessee Smokies name Listach new manager

Former major league shortstop Pat Listach has been named manager of the Tennessee Smokies, the AA affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.

Listach moves to the Smokies after serving as manager for the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx last season, his first year as a minor league manager. The Jaxx were 75-65.

Listach, the 1992 American League rookie of the year, spent six seasons with the Brewers and was also with the Astros.
