Neifi Perez wasn't available?

I note that the Giants have announced that they have promoted Triple-A hitting coach, Hensley Meulens to their major league club.

Really? Hensley Meulens?

Let's look at this closer.

Baseball-reference tells us that Hensley Meulens was a journeyman outfielder (well I knew that) who played seven seasons and had a career average of .220, a .288 OBP and a .641 OPS. Okaaay. Hmmm. Well, we know one thing. Pitchers went right at him.

Hitting coach?* I guess?! I mean if that is what they want to do. It's their team.

Who else did they interview?

Pokey Reese?

Kevin Elster?

The ghost of Mark Belanger?

*The first thing he should tell these players is to get the bat off their shoulder.
