He still needs to shorten his swing. He can swing hard, but he can't have a long swing or it will be exploited by the pitchers. Tonight the swing didn't look that long. Maybe he is adjusting.
Teahen is very good, Sweeney is a great hitter, and Dejesus isn't bad, neither Grudz. If Sweeny can stay healthy and the rookie Gordon comes throught, they'll be better than they have been in years.
