[QUOTE="The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog, post: 2673567, member: 3535"] I don't think he's stubborn or dumb. Again, look at his spray chart and he's more willing to go to the left than you think. The problem is that he pops it up a TON. Maybe he needs the right instruction or maybe he just needs more time. I know just about everyone but me tuned out on the Rangers last year but I noticed almost every time they showed him in the dugout he was talking to someone about the game. Either his last AB or something that happened in the field. Remember, he's basically had 1100 ABs of full-time MLB service. 81 HRs in that time. He's only 25. What he needs to work on more than anything is pitch selection and his approach at the plate. He works on that and puts more balls in play it won't matter that he doesn't inside-out a pitch on the outer half. I think he has one career sac fly. That's an insane stat for a guy who can hit it 450 ft on the reg. If there's a guy at 3rd with less than 2 outs he just needs to put the ball in play and the analytics say it will be a fly ball deep enough to score the runner. I'm hopeful the new staff will help him get to the next level. [/QUOTE]
