I am just regurgitating what team scouts and reporters in St. Lucie have been seeing. From their viewpoints, Long has SO FAR had a positive effect on a couple of guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-21425236934154514642015-03-02T11:41:45.799-05:002015-03-02T11:41:45.799-05:00Christopher, it's not only "only Spring,&...Christopher, it's not only "only Spring," they haven't even played an intrasquad game yet.<br /><br />The praise Long for his "results" is a little over the top at this point, since they are based on virtually nothing. <br /><br />Again, I don't think he's a bad hitting coach. I just think he's a media whore, and always has been. He likes taking credit for Jeter, Cano, etc. <br /><br />Every 6-year-old who takes hitting lessons learns about "squashing the bug" and using the lower half to generate power. If Long has the ability to get through to these guys, that will be his genius. But it's not like he's going to be saying anything that hasn't been said by many, many others. He's just a hitting coach.<br /><br />Let's see how it goes. Right now, IMO, you are drinking Kevin Long's Kool-Aid.<br /><br />BTW, did Rick Peterson really do such an awesome job when he was here with the Mets (2003-2008)? I didn't notice.

I think Sandy should tell him to calm down and be careful with some of the statements, he is setting expectations very high based on just a few weeks and team wide slumps are going to cause an even bigger distraction if they happen because of all of his yapping. They are telling the players to temper their words, I think the hitting coach (yes, the friggin hitting coach!!) should heed the same advice<br />Anon Joe FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-30409527581048309852015-03-02T09:53:36.374-05:002015-03-02T09:53:36.374-05:00Long sounds like the hitting coach equivalent of R...Long sounds like the hitting coach equivalent of Rick Peterson.

He'll let us know, too.<br /><br />I think he was a good hire, but I've watched this guy's act for many years.

Maybe that's why Collins doesn't want to do it? I hope I am wrong but I can see a Beltran/Cameron collision but this time it will be in Leftfield because the guy couldn't hear Lagares call him off the ball. <br />Collins put Grandy in Left and bat him 6th stop making stupid moves.Zozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395538323626784310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-82602506437726630792015-03-02T08:16:52.860-05:002015-03-02T08:16:52.860-05:00The article on Kevin Long and Daniel Murphy is the...The article on Kevin Long and Daniel Murphy is the latest of many encouraging articles, which support why 90 wins should be achievable. I still think 740 runs in 2015 is reasonable...this is one more reason I feel that way.<br /><br />Duda should be fine...needs patience to avoid a costly setback. Plenty of time to get ready. Maybe Jayce Boyd gets a window to show what he can do, for the future. He could be a nice Sept pinch hit bat to have in a pennant race.<br /><br />TheCuddyer/Gandy defense article is why I think we'll see a lot of Dekker out there this year, whether he is on OD roster or not.<br /><br />As Jimmy Rollins says, we have an Oh My Gosh pitching staff...with room to improve.
