#18....because they get to spend some time with Doug Mientkiewicz. The players and their families have a lot of respect for Doug. He has the ability to take a handful of players to the playoffs, no matter what talent they have when they first come under his wing. He won't be able to fix the current mess we have going on here, but he will analogize the issues, break them down, and help where he can. IF current management will allow him to work with the team. Rumor has it he was asked to just work as a hitting coach....an assistant hitting coach. Hunh.....
