The Indians have fired hitting coach Jon Nunnally and will replace him with minor league hitting coordinator Bruce Fields.
The Tribe have gone into a deep funk of late at the plate, and Nunnally unfortunately has to lose his job for it. Fields has been the team's minor league hitting coordinator since 2007 and was the Tigers' hitting coach from 2003-2005.
Indians are still in first but apparently that isn't good enough. Hafner is coming back soon but the Indians just couldn't wait. Nunnally hit .246/.354/.469 with 42 HRs over 6 seasons with the Royals, Reds, Mets and Red Sox.
