Blue Jays' rookie Travis Snider has been struggling at the plate and subsequently asked Cito Gaston, hitting coach Gene Tenace and first base coach Dwayne Murphy to stop giving him in-game advice.

?I?m the type of competitor that when I get into a game and in certain situations you can be presented with information, which is always good information coming from our coaching staff, but from my personality standpoint sometimes it?s something that I might take a little bit more seriously than normal,? said Snider.
