Question 3: Are you willing to retain hitting coach Marcus Thames? (who must have Sherman nudes to have kept his job this long)

Thames has only been here one year. It's Rowson who has had the time accrued here and failed.

 

Thames really did not help matters, though. Probably made them worse.

I want an entirely new coaching staff outside of Mel, though he'll probably choose to leave anyway.

My guess, he'll stay if he doesn't get a blow away offer to go elsewhere. If he gets no offers or nothing that'll really make a difference financially then he'll happily stay here because he likes working with this pitching staff. Or, in other words, I don't think he's desperate to leave here, which might surprise some.

Also, it would be nice if the Marlins actually gave him a raise to keep him and because he deserves it. I'm sure they know how important he is to this team.

I'm curious how much Rowson actually did with that hitting coordinator job. We never heard about that again after his hiring. From the outside it seems like he was just the bench coach and didn't do much for the hitters.

I hope they go with Espada

Or are you saying you want Sherman and Ng to go to the Astros organization?

Same, dump everyone else.  They clearly weren't succeeding.

I don't remember, was he hitting coordinator of the organization?  Seems like an odd job to give an on-field coach.

He was hired as bench coach (because it's considered a higher position than hitting coach) but was also the "offensive coordinator" and thus was tasked with "implementing a hitting plan for both the major and minor league levels," based on his success improving the hitting for the Twins.

Doesn't feel like that happened though. Kinda feels like we actually went backwards with that.

Ah yes, I remember now.  I'd agree that it seems like hitting overall hasn't gone well since then.  It also seemed like guys that were successful and drafted also fell off a cliff once they got in our organization.

Just give me a manager that actually speaks to the players when they make egregious base-running blunders and doesn't decide to leave the dug out after the player is already ejected.

If I hear once more that the Marlins and White Sox are interviewing the same candidates I'm gonna just assume that Kim Ng is just sitting in on the White Sox interviews and isn't actually conducting her own interviews.

Maddon had said he would only be interested in managing again if he could actually manage and not be basically a yes man for the front office.

In all honesty that's gonna limit his options, we're in 2022, front offices want more control than ever.

This means if the Marlins hire him, we have to assume he got that assurance. And that would mean Kim's clock can't start til Maddon's time as manager ends.

I mean if the view is good.....

That’s the thing. Considering you live between Rosie O’Donnell and Drew Carey…it’s really not…

I'm sure he's open to input.  But he doesn't want to be handed the FO lineup.
