Guy had a career average of .220. Had 140 strikeouts in seven seasons, including one season with an impressive 196 KOs. He's going to be a hitting instructor? Gimme a break.

If Rob Deer had Rob Deer as his hitting coach, he would have much better career stats.

Casey Stengel and Tommy LaSorda were superstar ballplayers that made great managers.

He is just an assistant hitting instructor and not the main hitting coach FWIW.

It's Dale and Bos's buddy. Very Dusty like is assembling a staff!

Just puts a ton more pressure on the former Milwaukians

OK, how can he have 140 strikeouts in 7 seasons, yet have one season w/ 196? Did Ronald Reagan teach you math? :P

Damn Straight. If he were playing today, he would be worth millions. See Adam Dunn.

Mark McGuire had a lousy batting average and lots of strikeouts, so I was quite surprised when the Cardinals made him their hitting coach. But he did a very good job as a hitting coach for them and last I heard was negotiating a big deal to go over to the Dodgers and be their hitting coach. Maybe it's not as crazy as it seems at first glance. At first glance....it seems pretty crazy.
