Why is Marcus Thames still employed?

We suck at hitting.

He sucks at coaching hitting.

Holdover from our Yankee regime.

Fire him and hire someone who knows how to hit and/or coach how to hit.

If he was a doctor, he's be facing multiple malpractice suits.

He's new to us this year, I believe. Either way, he's not the only one to blame. Five hitting coaches!

LeBlanc, who they took forever to promote, has had a solid start so far.

How long before Marcus Thames ruins him?

To be completely fair a lot of guys have good starts to their career until the league adjusts to them. Got to wait and see how they adjust back before declaring them a solid player. That said, Thames will also be part of that process (unless he's gone at seasons end as I think along with Don) so yeah he won't ruin him necessarily but he won't help him much either.

Did you find it?

sure did.  the one i can picture was a Fleer I think?  It had a greenish border going vertically on one side i think. I can remember it being listed in Tuff Stuff magazine as one of the "hot" cards to find.

Edit: I guess the Fleer one I'm thinking of is from 1992 and his rookie card is from 1991 so maybe I never did find it?  No idea.

Let's be real here: it doesn't matter who you have as your hitting coach if virtually your entire roster sucks at hitting. Not saying we can't find someone better than Thames, but the real problem is the fact that the Marlins have a roster full of guys who can't hit.
