    who would you want as new pitching coach

    I am never one to blame poor performance from a Professional player on a coach... but the obvious regression from several guys and the inability to bring up prospects and have them throw strikes has to be noted. Plus when you rebuild around pitching and then hire someone who walked 7 guys per 9 innings as your pitching coach, you have to take pause and say "hmm, maybe there is more to coaching than I realized"

    So if I get my wish and we wax Chuckie.. who is out there that is intriguing and worth going after.

    He gave a lot of extra life to washed up pitchers.

    Burkett, Jose Cabrera, Seanez always did well with us, Chris Hammond, Rem, Holmes, Alfonseca.

    He had some failures he couldn't magically fix like Blowberto, Retisma, Belinda, etc.

    Dont think Greg would do it unless Glav or Smoltz were in the dugout with him. He needs someone to shoot the **** with during the game.

    I would go with Leo just because of his intensity. I'm sure the stat heads would melt down because he is so old school. Could you imagine the outrage when he let a pitcher throw 130 pitches in a game.

    How exactly did you get an opinion on the effectiveness of the pitching coach?

    I go with relative suckage of the pitching staff. When three guys have the worst year of their lives, a few more regress and nobody develops, I think that is prima facie evidence of pitching coach suckage.

    I think for this team with this staff..Smoltz would almost be perfect. Remember Smoltz when he was younger.... plus his insight to pitching that I've seen from the booth are amazing. Folty screams to me a young Smoltz with a 100 mph fastball.

    Now Glavine should teach the minor leagues how to throw a change. Read just the other day 3 or 4 pitchers and how did they make it to the show without a third pitch...
