Bring Ecker back.
The fact he is not currently employed by any major league club tells me a lot. I would not bring him back.
From what I have read, the transition from playing the majority of games indoors to outdoors has impacted Adames far more than he expected. An interesting observation…..
Also, Chapman was added to the team in 2024 and I’m not sure who you are referring to when you cited “Reaves”. If you meant Devers, his last ten games with Boston: 7 for 37 (.189). His first ten games with SF: 10 for 39 (.256). I don’t think these numbers are indicative of a Giants hitting coach problem.

Not worried at all about Adames. Historically, he has been a second half guy, much better in the second half than the first.
Here's the OPS numbers for four players after 81 games in 2024 vs. 2025.
Wisely .743 vs. .357
Bailey .786 vs. .524
Lee .641 vs. .730
Ramos .887 vs. .839
Lee's is better, but he's actually slumping.
Echols teams crushed it in 2020, 2021, improving by almost a run per game. SF slumped in 2022 when he left, but Texas improved by 1/2 run per game when Ecker got there, and almost another full run per game in 2023. In 2024, they went backward.
So to sum up. Four great years, one backward year. Coincidence?
