Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price: Too many coaches can hinder Billy Hamilton

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — The other day Billy Hamilton was hitting on the Field 1 at the Goodyear Complex. On the left side of the cage was Joe Morgan. On the right side of the cage was Lou Piniella. In back of the cage was Barry Larkin. And Billy Hatcher was throwing.

That’s 7,708 hits of wisdom.

And that may be too much.
