Too All,

I often read about what hitting coaches with Major League teams have to say. I read alot about the New York Yankee's hitting coaches. Butf, I have some questions.

If NYY hitting coaches know what they are talking about, why do they buy good hitters, like Giambi and others, when they could create them for a lot less money?

If big league hitting coaches know what they are talking about, why so 80% of big league hitters have averages under 275?

Why do most of the players who go from the minors to the pros find themselves hitting worse? I know that the pitching is better, but the coaching is too, isn't it?

Let’s say you own a big league team and you had a hitting coach who knew what he is doing. Where you would you put him, with the major league team or the minor league team? Think about it.
