I'd probably rather they bring in Davis or Long if such a thing is possible, but Gedman did coach Bogaerts and Betts at Portland and Bradley at Salem. Maybe he has an idea of how to help them adjust to Major-League pitching.

The Red Sox apparently will pick their hitting coach from a group of five due to be interviewed: ex-Red Sox All-Star Rich Gedman, Red Sox hitting coordinator Tim Hyers, Angels hitting coordinator Paul Sorrento, ex-Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long and former batting title winner Bill Mueller, the ex-Cubs hitting coach.
 
The Red Sox may have some interest in Chili Davis, the well-regarded A's hitting coach who's on the Yankees' radar, but at the moment appear to be discouraged by a contract believed to go until Nov. 1. It's possible he could get back into the mix if none of the five currently in the running pans out.

I hope we hire Chili Davis, just so we can get a reprise of one of my favorite signs I've ever seen someone hold up at a baseball game:  "OUR CHILI GIVES US THE RUNS!"
