Nearly his first times with Boston when he got out trying for the opposite field he was told "that's not what you're here for, swing away" Just a story to fill a book? Maybe? But taking an approach that's more suitable to your skills and way of thinking is generally good for most people. Look at his AB/HR across that time and beyond. 2001 16.83 2002 20.6 2003 14.45 2004 14.19 2005 12.78 2006 10.33 2007 16.68 2008 18.08 The years after are roughly the same without doing the math. Around 30 in about 4-500AB His last couple years in MN he was actually a better HR hitter than he was in 2003 and 4. And really only had one outlier year where he was really a lot better. I think you'll find a lot of players who had that one crazy year. Maris and George Foster come to mind immediately, and they were probably not doping. |
