So it's confirmed: Billy Hayes and Roberto Kelly have been replaced by Jose Alguacil (1B coach) and Phil Nevin (3B coach) who were both promoted from the minors. How do the BPFZ Peeps feel about this?
I had been hearing rumors about Kelly making too many mistakes and possibly getting fired since last season. But Billy Hayes has been with the Giants for 17 years and I think he was a scapegoat for having a bad season. Since we couldn't seem to hit the broad side of a barn most of the season, why wasn't the hitting coach, Hensley Muelens, fired? I (and I'm not Buster!) think this was a lame attempt to appease us, the fans. Sorry San Francisco Giants, but bad move! At the least, you should have found another spot for Hayes. Loyalty is important.
