Leo Mazzone and Dave Duncan sucked as players but are two of the better pitching coaches in the last decade. I do know I had never heard of guys like Soto, Fox, Hoff, and Scales until they got to AAA and they put up good numbers and got their shot in the bigs, maybe he knows how to show a guy how to hit but can't hit himself, it wouldnt be the first time something like that happened. I say give him a chance, why not?. I think some of these major league coaches really don't do shit for established guys so is this really a big deal?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
As Bruce Levine wrote in his blog, I don't think that Gerald was fired because he was doing a bad job. It's quite possible that Hendry was looking to bring Joshua in simply because he has experience working with many of our current hitters and those guys could feel more receptive to taking his advice since they have an established history with him.
