![[Anne Rogers] “ In hiring Connor Dawson & Marcus Thames to the hitting staff, #Royals GM JJ Picollo said the goal was "balance" -- in how hitters are learning, in experience, & in understanding who can work well with Alec Zumwalt.
"Between Alec, Marcus and Connor, we were able to achieve that."](https://www.rawchili.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/n2rzg9wwpn0g1-1179x1024.jpeg)
Picollo cited Dawson's work with the Brewers, understanding swings and technology, and called him a "creative mind." Thames brings experience. The Royals tried to hire him in '17 before the Yankees made him their hitting coach. Coming to KC now, he has even more experience.

I like the thought process here
Seems like a lot of gymnastics and nonsense when you can just
fire Alex Zumwalt.
Or, hear me out, just fire Zumwalt.
