History Lesson II: Charley Lau
There's an interesting story in the NY Daily News about former Sox hitting coach Charley Lau
and his approach to hitting. Decent number of references to the Sox, who may retire his number.
The current Sox hitting coach is quoted in the article. If Walker is teaching Lau's swing this Sox season is not doing much to support Lau's theories. My favorite quote is from anti-Lau hitting coach Reggie Smith: "Even though Frank Thomas is successful he's not as efficient as he should be."

Thomas not as efficient as he could be?

Hard to say...
More generally, the anti-Lau advocates (and I think Hawk is among them), think that Lau's teachings impede power hitters in particular. They assume a great power hitter using Lau's swing would be even better is they weren't using that swing.
