It was at the end of October last season when the Atlanta Braves hired hitting coach Kevin Seitzer. If you are a believer that coaching – and the coaching of hitting – is a cumulative discipline, then you might yearn for some better roster stability.
Consider the hitters who played for the Braves on Opening Day, 2015:
- Eric Young, Jr. – belongs to Milwaukee, minor league deal
- Jace Peterson – still here, but had his thumb duct-taped to the rest of his hand for 4 months.
