Interesting info.

Sounds like a simple personality conflict.

 

Also Masterson is mentioned as well and doesn't seem to be any interest in him. What's his story? He used to be a stud!

Masterson could be a good buy low - wouldn't mind rolling the dice on him as the No. 5 guy, since he could provide top-of-the-rotation value if everything goes right. I'd definitely sign him to a 2-3 year deal, similar to what Phil Hughes got from the Twins last offseason - could end up being a bargain.

If it works for him then it works. Hitting coaches are there to remind players or make any observations, not impose changes. It has worked for Donaldson anyways.

 

Can he be an even better hitter if he implemented those changes? Sure. But there's always a risk that making tweaks will mess players up.

 

Besides, look at Hunter Pence. Scouts and all think his swing and hitting approach is terrible and should not be teached. But he's still contributing.

I remember Chili fro his playing days, and I suspect that he may not be the most humble, soft spoken fella around...

Davis sounds like the type of hitting coach that is going to do way more harm than good (making a good hitter over think his approach).

Why is chili boy bad mouthing a player he worked with? Douche.
