There seems to be a lot of shifting and twisting and hand movement, which means he's expending energy on stuff other than hitting the ball.<br /><br />This might account for why his line drive rate has fallen in half.Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-25328871080635750272010-08-25T11:22:15.034-04:002010-08-25T11:22:15.034-04:00Ha!

Adam is taking cuts at balls in the dirt, but at least his OPS is above .700.<br /><br />Whatever's wrong with Hill, I think he needs to go back to the drawing board and get it all straightened out in the offseason.Ian Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074587524873409802noreply@blogger.com
