I believe there is a difference between being positive and thinking that not firing a coach right now is the best course of action. I am not happy with Walker, but think a switch right now isn't worth the risk. I don't want to see him during Spring Training '08.
I don't see a coach coming in, making the changes necessary, and all of a sudden guys can change a swing overnight and build better habits. Unless we're talking about a psychological boost, I don't see the risk as worth it. I also am not convinced that this is solely Walker preaching long ball. I am more inclined to believe it is a system wide approach based on the personnel we have.
So what do you want to do? Just sit and watch this offense struggle for another month? Then what? Whether or not its Walkers fault or not, he is accountable, and the hitters are not hitting. Do I think changing things will turn the switch? No. But it can't get worse and change is the best course here.
