I'm not sure how qualified that makes him to be the infield instructor.
Good hitters don’t always make the best hitting coaches; in fact the inverse is more often true.

Perhaps.
I tend to think that hitting skills and defensive skill differ in that regard, at least as far as positioning is concerned.
