He mentioned this switch..... two years ago. For one I think it will be fine. Gibby was a fine hitter who had to really work hard at it. His swing was ugly at first and he spent of lot of time watching himself on video. He'll be good at it, but it limits him to one part of the game where the bench coach is in on everything.

And though Gibby seems like an unconventional choice for hitting coach, Tram hit on why his approach might provide a needed change. Focus on the mental, rather than technical aspects, of hitting. <br> <br>I like the moves, the more I think about them. I also like recognizing that SOMETHING had to be done.

I hope he can communicate to a veteran or two - like Young!! Can anyone explain to me why, down a run, a man on second, noone out, and facing perhaps the best closer in baseball, why does Young bat righthanded and swing at the FIRST pitch???? I don't see alot of plate disipline on this team and I sure hope Gibby can teach this group of hitters something about that concept I am not sure how Gibby will work out as hitting instructor, will he have the patience and ability to communicate to the younger players??

If this team finishes below .500, I have to believe he's in trouble. He may get another year, just because of what he's meant to the franchise, but I think Dombrowski has to be looking at the numbers and scratching his head as to why we aren't winning more games. It generally isn't a good sign when coaching staff changes start happening in mid-season. How much time does Trammel get? If this team finishes below .500, I have to believe he’s in trouble.
