Isn’t that what the Phillies did this year?

I’m going to miss him in the booth, but hopefully he can help out.
Monkey’s Uncle
I can see him doing really well. Nice move and best of luck to him.

Great hire. Stairs will do well in his new role, though a loss in the broadcast booth – I enjoyed Stairs’ work behind the microphone. Good to see a fellow Maritimer sticking around the big leagues.

It is a lot easier analyzing swings sitting in a cushy chair in a broadcast booth than being down in the trenches. You know what it takes to makes a good hitting coach at the ML level????…Good hitters so the Philadelphia front office better get to work if they want Mr. Stairs to look good.

Congrats to Matt…I’m from his hometown up in Canada and he’s a super community guy…a friend to all. For those who think he had it “cushy” – he fought for every break he got and wound up one of the dozen greatest Canadian-born players in MLB history

Phillies FO: Forget about the corporate ladder, man. Our dude has stairs.

I like this hire a lot. He already knows about all the players tendencies from being in the both the past few years.
