Yeah, I hope it was a mutual decision. Don't think Pressley was a particularly good hitting coach, but don't really think hitting coaches have that much impact.

He probably needed to get Schoop trending in the correct direction to save his job, and Schoop was really struggling at the end of the year.

Is this a health issue?

Would love to see Thome back. I've heard good things about Manto so I wouldn't be disappointed with giving him a try.

It won't be Brady or Raul.. they have higher aspirations. Please no Manuel.
