    Would be nice if we had a thread for all the offseason baseball news... as opposed to just a random thread here and there.
    Yes, blue font; no, a hitting coach isn't worthy of his own.

    Manky would have posted that, but he was afraid it would be removed because it was a discussion of politics off the politics thread.

    Manky would have posted that, but he's camped outside Jeter's place in the offseason.
     
  7. Mark McGwire should have stuck to posting here.

    Serious question now. I know he has a track record with the Cardinals now, even after losing Pujols, but is McGwire really that a great a hitter to be able to teach young players? He was predominantly a home-run hitter, and he had a great knack for picking up the ball because of his hand-eye coordination. Bonds was a better pure hitter, but he had the same hand-eye coordination that I would think you can't teach. Some are crediting McGwire's success more to his approach and presence. Can't argue with the results, I guess.

    Banging Debbie Clemens keeps me pretty busy.

    Abe Vigoda hangs out quite a bit, though.

    You don't have to have been a great hitter to teach hitting. That doesn't mean everyone can teach it, but McGwire must have been one of those players who studied the game.
