BRIEF: Bill Mueller joins Cardinals' staff

Nov. 18--Former Chicago Cubs hitting coach Bill Mueller was named the assistant hitting coach for his hometown St. Louis Cardinals.

Mueller resigned from the Cubs after only one season after management decided to re-assign assistant hitting coach Mike Brumley. Mueller insisted that his decision to resign stemmed solely from Brumley's reassignment and that no other factors were involved.

Mueller, who grew up in a suburb of St. Louis, fills the spot vacated by former Cubs third base coach David Bell.

Bell takes over as bench coach after Mike Aldrete left to join Bob Melvin's staff in Oakland.
