I'm officially a Jays fan this year. They have a local guy, Kevin Sietzer, as their hitting coach. He's a fan favorite around here and we are all still pissed the Royals fired him a couple years back. He saved Alex Gordons career and the Royals were one of the better hitting teams. But out of arrogance our manager had him fired claiming that our guys didn't hit enough home runs...
Now the Royals hit even less homeruns then when Sietzer was here and they have been the worst hitting team in the majors going thru 4 hitting coaches in less than 2 seasons since he left!!
The funniest case was Gordon. Gordon was shuffling back and forth from the minors hitting like .220 with no power, and so Sietzer comes along and asks him if he wants to hit .230 with power or hit .300 without, and Gordon said he just wanted to hit 300. So Sietz promised Gordon if he did what he was told he would be a .300 hitter with 5 homeruns. Well, it turned out with Sietzer that Gordon hit over 20 homeruns and plus .300 as well!! So he over-achieved. The next year he comes back under Sietzer again and still hits .300 plus but this time with like 15 homers. So Sietzer gets blamed for his "lack of homerun production" when before Sietzer the guy couldn't even stay on the major league roster!
Anyway all this has been well documented. Gibbons is also a KC guy so he knew what was up. Sietz still comes to the city often and chats with local media, we love him here

Tell us though, how much longer will it be until the artificial turf destroys Jose Reyes' legs?

We'll hopefully he can last another 3+ seasons since they are putting natural grass in the dome by 2018

Speaking of the Rays, what do you all think of Will Myers now? The Royals traded him and he won rookie of the year last year. Now everyone is down on him. Don't you all think he will be fine once he's healthy and still have a great career in Tampa?
