ST. LOUIS • The reorganization of Mike Matheny's coaching staff will include the return of Jose Oquendo as third-base coach and the addition of fan favorite Willie McGee.

The Cardinals moved Mike Shildt, who served as third-base coach and quality control coach this past season, to bench coach. That was the first domino in a string of moves announced Monday afternoon by the team on its main Twitter feed.

The discussion of Oquendo's return was reported in Saturday's Post-Dispatch. Mozeliak met with Oquendo in person in Florida this past week to discuss his return to Matheny's staff.

McGee's title is not mentioned in the announcement, in part, because his responsibilities could shift based on the outcome of other hires. The Cardinals still have a pitching coach and bullpen coach role to fill, and their search for a pitching coach got more complicated this past weekend with more teams entering the mix for top candidates like Jim Hickey.

McGee will work with outfielders on their defense and all players with their baserunning. His other responsibilities will be what he makes of them, as Mozeliak said he and Matheny want to strike a "collaborative" tone with the coaching staff that allows for coaches to work toward their strengths, not just their job titles.
