Colletti says the hiring of a permanent hitting coach could take ``a day, a week or a month." Translation: It ain't gonna take the rest of the year. Reading between the lines of what was said, my best GUESS is that they're eyeing either Robinson or Easler, even though no one mentioned either of those names. ``Before we upset the minor league system and start having people moving around into different positions because we removed somebody from that area, we want to be sure that is the direction we want to pursue,'' Colletti said. I'm interpreting that to mean that it IS the area they want to pursue RIGHT NOW, but they're going to wait and make sure there some compelling reason doesn't pop up to NOT go that route. It just makes too much sense. Those two guys are both VERY familiar with the kids, aka Kemp, Loney, Abreu, etc. And don't forget, Robinson was the hitting coach for the Marlins when the won the World Series in 2003, a team that had Juan Pierre as its leadoff man. And, believe it or not, he was a very productive leadoff man for that club, and the case could be made that it was Pierre's best season. But more importantly, hiring one of those guys would resolve this matter quickly, something that is very important at a time when this club finally seems to be hitting its stride.
