I don't see a problem with having a team head batting coach to keep people in a similar work regiment...to keep them working in the cage and looking at helpful video and such. But what I think should be do is that whe you sign your 5 year, 65 million dollar contract, some of that money should go to selecting a personal batting instructor to contract each year. Saunders needs Mike Bard...the Mariners should pay Mike Bard a percentage of Saunders' contract to consult with Saunders every time he slumps. It shouldn't be up to the team to pick a bunch of guys for players...the players know by the time they're big leaguers who has been helpful in their amateur and early-pro careers. They should get to choose and it should come out of their paychecks.
