By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com | December 4, 2014 NEW YORK -- The Mets rounded out their coaching staff Thursday with a name familiar to hitting coach Kevin Long, naming Pat Roessler their assistant hitting coach. Roessler, 55, was the Yankees' director of player development from 2004-14, also serving as their field coordinator for the first 10 of those years and their hitting coordinator in 2005. His tenure with the Yanks overlapped significantly with that of Long, who was their hitting coach from 2007-14. _____________________________________ If this guy had a big influence (director of player development) on the Yankee farm system, and with the lack of good products being "produced", then I guess it's addition by subraction as far as the Yankees' farm system is concerned He's gone from being a director of player development to an assistant hitting coach? lol Am I missing something? Good riddance....don't let the door hit you on the way out. .... any thoughts ?
