    Are batting coaches overrated? Sure. But they matter more than Mike says they do. Like pitching coaches, they can pinpoint some tiny change in their swing (or windup) that can make a world of difference. You leave the guys alone who are doing great. But the new coach just may notice something with someone who is struggling, like a Donaldson, that can change things. Look at what happened to Gary Sanchez when he went to SD, and even Hicks in Baltimore. Mike overstates his case.

      .198, 7 HR, 20 RBI. That's lousy, but it's far better than what he did with not only the Mets, but even in AAA with San Francisco's minor league team. Your point is fair - he is not the best example in the world, but it is true that batting coaches sometimes remove a hitch or add a leg kick or something and then it miraculously clicks. Think about Daniel Murphy, who became a power hitter because of Kevin Long. These things do happen sometimes.

Minnesota let him go after a year, then SF signed him, but he couldn't hit in AAA, and they wouldn't bring him up, so he opted out and the Mets signed him, and he played something like three games here and then the Mets let him go, and then SD picked him up.

    Why does Mike always try to sound too smart, thereby sounding stupid? .300 OBP becomes "30%". 1.000 OPS becomes "1". He does the same with players' names, like calling Johnny Bench "John Bench", or by trying too hard to use fancy words, like when he corrected himself last week from "use" to "utilize". It just sounds unnatural and dumb.

    Trade 1: Josh Donaldson to SD for Matt Carpenter. Trade 2 Peraza, Cabrera, Severino to Cubs for Cody Bellinger and Marcus Stroman... 2 LH power bats and a SP who leads the NL in ERA. I know Carpenter is struggling in SD. But SD Park is gigantic. Put Matt Carpenter in Yankee Stadium and let it fly.

      @@justadude2800 put Donaldson at DH. Carpenter is hitting about the same for Padres. Donaldson would leave NY where everyone is on his ass like Hicks and play well for Padres. And we know what Matt Carpenter does in Yankee Stadium.
