Mariners and then worked in the Toronto Blue Jays’ system as a roving minor league
catching instructor from 1991-92 and 2000. He returned to managing from 1993-96
at Syracuse (AAA) and worked as an advance scout with the New York Yankees from
1997-99 and 2001. Didier returned again to the dugout in 2002, managing the Montreal Expos’ Florida State League affiliate, and then went back to advance scouting
with the Chicago Cubs from 2003-05.
After being selected in the fourth-round by the Atlanta Braves in the 1967 amateur
draft, Didier batted .229 with 25 doubles and 51 RBI as a catcher in 247 games during a
six-year Major League career (1969-74) with the Braves, Detroit Tigers and Boston Red
Sox. His father, Mel, is a longtime scout and was the D-backs’ Director, Player Development from 1997-98 and Senior Assistant to the General Manager from 1999-2000.
