Rick down (& out)

Well, minaya clearly reads this blog b/c I've been calling rick down out for a long time now. Looks like Mets agree, since Down was canned and HoJo or Rickey Henderson is in. I think the Mets need to start having a team batting mentality, rather than purely individual, and I'd like to see a hitting coach who is clearly getting them to think about making in-game and even in-pitch adjustments. I believe both HoJo and Henderson are well respected enough by the players that they should listen to hitting strategy/advice from either of them. I think this will only help the offense.
