I have absolutely no clue, just throwing something out there.

From what I've been told, it had more to do with Grifol being in over his head than anything else. He's all about the swing and lower half feeling good and doesn't focus as much on approach or prep.
Sveum's philosophy is quite a bit different. Head and hands (a more classic focus for hitting) and preps better.
