@ Sometimes, though, those tools are a hitter's worst enemy. Seen it happen over and over. Inge when he came up classic example

@ Just my opinion, but Pujols is a classic example of what I'm talking about. He wasn't made by a hitting instructor.

@ I think it's a facsinating debate. Why can't Lloyd breakdown pitchers. Been in game forever. Pretty fair hitter himself in the day

@ Magglio lost his tools. That was obvious. Granderson will hit in NY. Better lineup. Horrible home numbers, good road ones in '09

@ Best hitters don't think too much about mechanics. They study pitchers and pitch patterns. Really good ones think merely see ball.

@ There is some function there. Breakddown pitchers. Check out obvious flaws. Be a sounding board. Hit fungos. Throw BP.

@ Cabrera recogizes pitches. Inge doesn't. Cabrera doesn't have to know what is coming to hit it. Inge must guess right

@ It's like patience at the plate. It can't be coached. You either recognize pitches or you don't.

@ Understands that about scources. Good stuff you have. Just saying about hitting coaches and their role. Overrated, in my opinion.

@ Talk to the best hitters. Slumps come and go and they have no idea, really, why. Sometimes they don't hit for a week - then hit.

@ There is a fraction of a second between the ball leaving a pitchers hand and arriving at plate. Ultimate reaction skill.

@ It was like when McClendon was getting all that credit for Inge's hot start. Total B.S.

@ Hitting coach is the utlimate scapegoat position. You can either hit or you can't. Like you can run or you can't.

@ No doubt McClendon is Leyland's buddy, but what have hitters in Toledo done so well. And wasn't he Magglio's hitting coach in '07?

Stanton starting next game is no brainer. Enough of Culpepper. Never puts ball in end zone. Never

Was Drew Stanton that good today or mediocre at best. Problem is, you never get a read on how good the kid is
