Pete Rose Jr. will manage the Great Falls Voyagers, the advance rookie affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, according to multiple media outlets. 

Rose will be joined by returning coaches Brian Drahman as pitching coach, Charlie Poe as hitting coach, and Kevin Pillifant as the trainer. 

New to the staff will be George Timke as strength and conditioning coach.
