Description
Craig Charles Colbert is a former Major League Baseball catcher and former bench coach for the San Diego Padres.
Colbert was selected in the 20th round of the 1986 Major League Baseball Draft by the San Francisco Giants. He played in their farm system until making his debut at the beginning of the 1992 season, and played in 72 games over two seasons, being released after the 1993 season.
Colbert played several more seasons in the minor leagues, first for the Cleveland Indians, then for the San Diego Padres. In 1998, Colbert became a player-coach for the Las Vegas Stars, ending his playing career after that season. From 2000 through 2006, Colbert worked his way up the Padres' chain, managing at four different levels of the minor leagues.
In 2007, he was named the Padres' bench coach, a position from which he was let go on September 29, 2008 following a 99 loss season. It seems that he and hitting coach Wally Joyner were the scapegoats for the disappointing season.
