Will George Brett get the Royals' bats going again?

I honestly don't think he's going to help that much. At this level of baseball a batting coach might be able to have an impact on one or two hitters but as a whole they have very little impact on the team. The Royals offense is loaded with hackers and no amount of Hall of Fame 3rd basemen will stop them from swinging at anything within a foot of the strikezone.

I see it as nothing more than a PR move for GMDM. He needed something to distract from the negative attention he was receiving for putting together such an awful lineup. What better way to do that than put #5 back in uniform. I see this going one of two ways:

1) Brett has no impact whatsoever and steps down later this summer. GMDM says this was all part of his plan.

2) The Royals offense progresses to the mean (which will probably happen with or without Brett) and GMDM proclaims himself a genius and baseball god then says this was all part of his plan.

His plan, by the way, is to grasp at as many straws as possible in the hopes that he doesn't get canned for this abortion of a season.

Those who cannot do, teach. But George Brett COULD "do", so that means...

Nah, He'll help. Clearly he knows a thing or two about hitting. Butler, Hosmer, and Escobar need their bats to come along and what better than a Royal great to save the day.

I think the problem is Ned Yost. He underperformed in Milwaukee and it cost him his job. If the Royals do not climb out of .500 by the end of the month he should be gone.

Well it might help, but generally disagree it is going to make any big difference.

Like at the catcher position, Perez on the DL, currently using George Kotteras and Adam Moore. Kotteras has been one of the worst defensive catchers in the majors over his entire career. So I would say getting Perez back is more important than Brett as hitting coach.

It looks like only a temporary fix and Gordon was already hitting over .300 so I'm not sure what you expect.

Yes. Brett's leadership and talent is bound to be infectious.

Maybe. Ask the question in late August.

I think it's a good idea. it's surely worth a shot.

Be nice to see it
