Typical stage gate approach to solving a problem, start small with the least amount of risk (financial investment) and then proceed from there.
Although the guy may have been a great coach as Doc is stated if a hitter is struggling as much as the M's hitters are it's human nature to begin to doubt the advice being given from the coach.  If he wasn't fired he would have lost the trust of his team anyway.
I'm still a little perplexed as to why Wak continues to run Griffey out when Sweeney is a viable but virturally untried option, or do something about the 1B situation, or even swap Figgins and Ichiro in the order (Figgins has only shown the propensity to walk this season and has not been able to hit at all).  For the good of the team Wak needs to modify his belief system to do more than charge the same people onto the field expecting different results - that insanity.
