They employ a huge shift against Mark Teixeira and I believe it was the year before last he tried to change his style to hit to the open area. Well his average went to crap and he lost power because he was confused at the plate (late and missing balls he should have been pulling). Pulling the bull to the right is something he has done all his life so trying to change at this juncture of his career was not possible (at least for him). Not sure how easy of a task this really is...
