Too Much Tweaking?

[inactiveuser1]

So this mornings edition of the local paper had an interesting article in it. Unfortunately the online edition requires a special subscription to read which I don't have. Basically the article was about catching up Wth some former Sox players. One player was Ryan Sweeney who this year in Boston has a .355 Avg. and 13 doubles. He was quoted on this when asked about his stance

When I was younger, I maybe tried to tweak it to much and tried to tweak to many things. When I was with the White Sox, Not the A's. With the White Sox, they watch a lot of video and try to change a lot of stuff. Even coming up through the minors I had a hundred different batting stances. Now I try to keep the same approach and the same stance.

.....


Sounds like the Sox never let him stay long enough with a certain stance to become consistent and maybe that's why he struggled with us :shrug: if they are still constantly tweaking swings, could that be a problem wi some of our players now? What are your thoughts on this?

its fucking ryan sweeney. he is a better OBP guy than juan pierre. this guy has zero pop and at the cell you better have and obtain power guys to play to your ballpark.

In Oakland he had an OBP of .347.

Its not great, but he would have been a good #2 hitter.

Sweeney is a good player. Not everyone can develop power you know.
