    Parker is impressive when you talk to him. But he isn't ready at this point to coach a program like Mississippi State. Would be huge risk. And if offense is the problem- we have no idea who he would hire as a hitting coach.

    My opinion of Gautreau is he is average. I wouldn't say he's bad. But he isn't as impressive as Parker is. The best case scenario would be for Gautreau to move on and bring in the hitting coach version of Parker.

    Parker is a college guy. In that I mean he has the talent to coach in pro baseball but he likes college baseball more where he has more control of things. Gautreau to me seems like he treats our hitters like pros. It's like he is OK with letting guys fail and if the hurts the team in the short term so be it. To be honest with you Justin Haire is the most impressive hitting coach I have seen recently IMO. He's the head coach at Ohio State and he's never coming here as the hitting coach unless we give him some head coach in waiting deal or something like we did with Pat McMahon in the 1990's.

    The biggest thing that concerns me with Gautreau is we brought in a bunch of guys who have a history of contact and our strikeouts have been about the same as last season so far.

    Edit to say another solution would have been to bring in a hitting analyst to assist with hitting that is a hitting guru. Would free up Gautreau to recruit.
