ARLINGTON -- Kevin Cash is happy with the work that new hitting coach Chad Mottola has done since taking over for Derek Shelton, who held the role for seven seasons.
"I think we've all been very pleased," Cash said. "It's more important where the players are. ... But from my perspective, it's been very good interaction. We talked about the value of the last three weeks, having him here and building those relationships. He's done that.
"I've gone in the cage a couple of times, and you see how the guys are interacting and joking around, the different messages that he's trying to get across and how well they're being received.
