Mattingly Set To Return To Full-Time Roll

Well it's about time. Because this team can't seem to hit when it matters. And so the revolving door at the hitting coach's position continues.

Don Mattingly, who was hired to be the original hitting coach when Joe Torre brought him with him to L.A. in the off-season but decided to back out at the last minute due to family concerns and remained on as a special instructor, will become the team's eighth hitting coach in 10 years. Mattingly is slated to replace Mike Easler, who will be reassigned in the organization, after the All-Star Game next week. Last season, Bill Mueller replaced Eddie Murray as hitting coach at mid-season.
