I agree that we need a true pitching coach. One other area that obviously needs attention is our disturbing habit of running ourselves out of innings. I don't know if it is just Dax trying to keep them aggresive or if it is mental booboo's, but something needs to be done.
Fielding this year was pretty good except for the crazy trend of the infield (most notably Rutledge and Wilson) dropping balls at the worst possible time, and obviously the hitting was awesome. I guess that one of the true downers was that we knew that couldn't continue to hit .340 as a team, but to lose it the last weekend of the regular season just really hurt.
Hopefully Jake and Brandon will return, as will as Howell. If we have Morgan, Howell, and Scott, plus the position guys we could have back, we have a very good nucleus for another successful season in 2010. Hope so.
