Moncada is 1-1 with a BB and a SB. Adams with 2 K's through 2. Anyone know if he's tweaked something mechanically, added velocity, etc to start missing more bats? It would be nice if this uptick in strikeouts isn't a fluke.

 

Adams back to getting shelled

18 K in 27 PA for Hawkins since he came off the DL. Somebody has to do something...it's obvious this problem isn't going to fix itself by just running him out there and having him strike out 2-5 times every game. I would be inclined to not release him, but either come up with a fake injury or send him to extended spring to work through these problems that at this point are largely psychological. It's like the yips for hitting at this point.

He's already had a ton of training and attention. This is him deciding "screw it" and just swinging for the fences. It's over for him as a hitter.

 

Give pitching a try, if he's willing. If not, see if another team wants to do a swap for a failed or marginal prospect. If not either, then just release the guy.
