Brett's talking about the idea of the home run, meaning that if one guy hits one, then the next guy starts thinking long ball and that's not really a good approach. See: Jeff Francouer.
I disagree that Brett may not have a lot to offer technically; as a Charley Lau disciple, he had a very, very efficient swing and general approach. He'll pass that concept on, I would think. I remember him saying once that if he hit a homer, it was on accident. His approach was to hit the ball hard wherever it was pitched.
I think it's a good idea, and he might be just the guy to get these guys (Hosmer, Moose) to take a better approach to their swings and at-bats in general.
