re: welp....we officially just lost Godwin...

Allen and Bousfield were both .300 hitters their freshman year. They regressed big time as sophomores. If you were forecasting their progression lines during their freshman seasons I'd say they exceeded expectations as Juniors but not as much as most people believe.

Godwin is a good hitting coach, but coaching hitting at the college level has more to do with plate approach than mechanics. That isn't the hard part of the job. The biggest part is evaluating offensive talent. The traditional "hitting coach" part of the job shouldn't be the focus in this search.
