Edgar has replaced HoJo as the M's hitting coach, WOW! Best news of the season, and I hope it wasn't too late.
My issue with it is that Edgar being the greatest M's player of all time (my opinion) and there is only one way to go as a coach and that is down. How is the eventual breakup going to go down? I hope he finishes the season and just walks away at the end going back to being a rover coach.
these two tweets say it all:A pure Mariner move. Hiring legit hitters...expensive. Hiring a M's legend who makes M's fan happy...priceless.

This, if the players don't hit you don't want to see the team fire Edgar. I always thought he would end up as a hitting coach but maybe when the team was in better shape.
That being said good luck Edgar!

I'm glad a change was made in the coaching. Guys like Cano, Cruz, Seager, Lomo, Trumbo, Jackson, and Smith are all hitters who should be at or above average hitters, especially in simple situations like getting a run in from 3rd with less than 2 outs. There have been too many guys fall into extended slumps here for it to be a coincidence. Whatever approach was being taught was either not sinking in or it was the wrong one.
Edgar was a master at hitting the baseball. Hopefully he can communicate that effectively to get this offense at least to a respectable level. Just putting the bat on the ball should be step one (Zunino)
