so why are we paying any hitting coach if they can't see and fix this?

but great analysis by fans can potentially do so?

simplest answer is

we signed him

I LIKE IKE!

the photos are taken from different angles

which could exaggerate the differences he is pointing out. The only thing that seems significantly different is that in this picture his hands appear to be higher than in the Red Sox equivalent.

One day, this team is going to kill me.

Also

I don’t think it’s clear from the article when this “new” stance – assuming it is one – started. Was he using his “old” stance last year? I

I don't know, but he had better find his power stroke soon

or this could turn out to be one of the worst contracts in team history.

If he sucks enough,

he probably won’t get the playing time to trigger the vest.

The terms seem even easier to reach than BB-Rod’s. It’s a club option that becomes guaranteed with 600 plate appearances or 500 plate appearances in both 2012 and 2013. I mean, considering that he’ll be making 16 million in both seasons, I just don’t see how he won’t be starting unless he’s somehow traded or released or injured.

Well that's why I wanted the Mets to Sign Bay's old

Hitting coach from Pitt. Go back to the basics and do what go you the $80 million contract. Guys forget how to perform once they sign that huge contract .
