Why is Marcus Thames still employed?

Featured Replies

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!

What a profound bust James Rowson has been.

Dude got credited for producing one of the greatest mashing teams ever when it was actually the baseball. Lol

It's Sunday and Marcus Thames is still employed.

Juan Pierre for hitting coach!

only thing i can think of is that the season is lost and his contract expires end of season and Brucey doesn't to pay the extra money.

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.

BA and Berti might need to stay down a while to learn from him their SSS rehab numbers are horrendous 3/29 4 BB's 16 K's halfway through tonight's game.

Call up Phil Plantier, the AAA hitting coach.

man, i can still remember hunting for his rookie card back in the day.

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.

research

It’s pretty evident they’re not going to make any changes in season….and I’m scared they re-up everyone.

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.
