Most hitters can't pull balls on the outer third of the plate like jedi can, but everyone on this team other than YEScobar is trying to. Davis is a career .290ish slap hitter with a lot of speed that got a few hrs in ST and thought he was going to 'break out' at age 30 instead of sticking with what has worked throughout his career. Aaron Hill used to have oppofield gap power, now he's just another 250 hitter that may pull 20hrs against bad pitchers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-47010087231339397102011-06-27T12:37:51.452-04:002011-06-27T12:37:51.452-04:00I'm working on something for later this week.....I'm working on something for later this week..I think he's in a funk.

And if you were in a funk, maybe you'd then see more sliders. So maybe cause and effect are reversed here.<br /><br />Or maybe not. In any event, I wouldn't make any pronoucements on JPA until at least 2021. But then I'm risk averse.Gil Fishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-67034730924824913992011-06-23T22:00:15.130-04:002011-06-23T22:00:15.130-04:00Honest to goodness this just happened to me:

I said to myself "Is Drew going to say that he's struggling with the ball up and away?"<br /><br />and then I scrolled down to the bottom half of the graph and said out loud: 'Oh dear.' in such a tone that my roommate asked me from the living room if something had gone wrong.Archihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151272110728462869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-75457067489436195352011-06-23T19:11:18.231-04:002011-06-23T19:11:18.231-04:00Hey, I've got an idea, save yourself some time...Hey, I've got an idea, save yourself some time tomorrow, just change JP Arencibia to Rajai Davis, take out the 'still young' thing, and your next post has written itself! <br /><br />(sighs.)Greg Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-53863375375189077712011-06-23T11:08:44.865-04:002011-06-23T11:08:44.865-04:00I wonder how much his dislocated thumb (suffered a...I wonder how much his dislocated thumb (suffered at the beginning of June) has to do with this? Maybe nothing as it relates to the swing, but I can definitely see it sapping his power when he does make contact.allisaucehttp://www.twitter.com/allisauce24noreply@blogger.com
