Tim Teufel, Binghamton's manager this past season is expected to be named the manager of Triple-A Buffalo. He will be succeeding Ken Oberkfell who is joining the big club as the new bench coach.
Backman last managed at the Double-A level with Birmingham in the Chicago White Sox organization in 2002 and '03.
The Triple-A staff also is expected to include Ricky Bones as pitching coach and Luis Natera as hitting coach. Natera was the Bisons' hitting coach during the first half of the 2009 season, before being sent to Binghamton.
Buffalo's hitting coach for the '10 season, Jack Voigt, will take over for Mookie Wilson and his role as minor league outfield and baserunning coordinator.
Wilson is returning to the Mets as first base coach.
