Absolutely love these two hires. Both have great familiarity with our core players and saw what techniques they used to have huge production in the minors. If they're both on the same page, this hire is MUCH better than going out and getting someone brand new to implement yet another new strategy.
Also I love this quote from Yost. We may finally be getting it:
Quote:
“I think we’ve got a group of young power hitters who are capable of hitting homers,” Yost said. “Our offense was built more around singles and doubles. We’ve got a big field, and we drive to the big part in the gaps.
“But it’s difficult to get three or four singles in a row to score a run. We have to have the ability to open it up a little more, use the power that we have in our offense to take advantage of a quick strike. A walk, a base-hit and boom – there’s three runs.”
