Houston Astros legend Jeff Bagwell has accepted a position as a guest instructor for the Astros this spring, according to Jose de Jesus Ortiz (Houston Chronicle).

Mark Berman (MyFox26) spoke to Bagwell about his new position with the Astros. “I want to have a voice. I want to help this organization get back to where it’s supposed to be,” Bagwell said.

Bagwell had been with the Astros front office earlier in his post-Astros career. He was a special assistant for the Astros front office back in the beginning of the decade. He took over as the team’s hitting coach when the Astros fired Sean Berry in 2010. Bagwell finished the season as the hitting coach but rejected a two-year offer to remain with the team that offseason.

Family was an important factor in Bagwell’s decision to decline the Astros offer. It was more work than he had expected and he wasn’t able to see his kids much during the season. Bagwell also didn’t like the way the organization was headed at the time and hasn’t been a part of the Astros organization since 2010.

Berman says Bagwell will join the team for a week in March. There’s no other word on the specific nature of his job or if he will continue on as the season progresses. Expect to hear more about the situation as Spring Training nears.
