HUGE YANKEES HITTING COACH UPGRADE!

 

Bravo Mr. Steinbrenner... Bravo.  

Just 24 hours after firing Dillon Lawson as the Yankees hitting coach, the Yankees have replaced him with a guy who understands approach, experience, tweaks, adjustments and most of all... hitting a baseball.  

CBS Sports writes:

"Sean Casey is the new hitting coach for the New York Yankees, the team announced Monday. Joel Sherman adds that Casey's contract will run through the rest of the 2023 season, at which point both sides can determine whether a longer and more permanent agreement is desired. Casey will replace Dillon Lawson, who was fired following Sunday's loss to the Cubs and coming out of one of the worst offensive first halves in franchise history.

"Anyone who knows Sean knows he is a very well-respected former baseball player with a big personality full of positive energy," GM Brian Cashman said in a statement. "We feel his abilities to connect with people with his experience will serve him well in his new role as our head hitting coach."

Sean Casey is one of the most respected guys in baseball, had a fantastic career and will no doubt (in my opinion) be the more managerial and thorough guy of this Yankees coaching staff. I see Casey inserting himself in decisions Aaron Boone makes, his longevity and experience will prove valuable to this Yankees club as they move forward in the second half of the season.

And dare I say, if this new marriage is successful... the Boone/Casey team will be around for a while. If the Yankees continue to tank or are failing with Boone's leadership... it would be a pleasure to slide Casey over has manager and watch him work in New York while we cut Boone loose!

Welcome Sean! I'm loving this.
