I don't know how Rickey will do as a hitting coach but knowing his style as a player it seems like a perfect match. Sometimes hitting coaches take too much blame but it might be deserved here. The Mets were WAY too aggressive, so much so that I believe it had to be Downs strategy this season.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
