Well, that's a novel reason to Fire Mickey Hatcher:
Easy come, easy go. Just as Chone Figgins gets ready to come back from his broken finger, Howie Kendrick heads to the DL with a similar problem. "The problem is [hitting coach Mickey] Hatcher," one AL executive told me. "He has that team standing on the plate. They're going to get hit." I still wonder why more players don't use the type of padded glove that Jeff Bagwell wore after suffering similarly on inside pitches, or that they don't resort to an higher-tech solution. Figgins is about to start a rehab assignment, and if he hits, the assignment could be a very short due to the team's needs.Will also mentions that Felix Hernandez's mechanics are "questionable", which is to say, he's going to have strain problems here and there, at least.
Hernandez's mechanics are still so problematic that pitch counts, limits on pitch use, and not allowing him to ride in any car not manufactured by Volvo won't be enough. He's good; he's not invulnerable.
