This week Dayton Moore confirmed more coaching staff changes, announcing the re-assignment of hitting coach Dale Sveum to bench coach, leaving an opening with the hitting coach gig. Sveum had been the hitting coach since replacing interim coach George Brett in 2014, after Brett had replaced Andre David and Jack Maloof early into that season.
Don’t look for George to step back out of the front office to take the gig, and Kevin Seitzer is employed as hitting coach for the Atlanta Braves and unlikely to return. Instead, here are some more likely candidates.
Tommy Gregg
Gregg is the hitting coach for the Omaha Storm Chasers, having been with the Royals organization since 2007.
