  1. 1. Are you concerned with his lack of home runs so far?

    • Why does he have to hit for power?

You missed one of the most popular answers -- not worried at all and expect the power to come.

 

That would be the answer. I love the fact that he is learning to hit rather than just swinging for the fences. That kid has ridiculous power. It'll come.

aaaaaand... 23 minutes after this thread was started.... BAM!

lol. Right on that pitch I said "come on Josh, now would be a nice time to show that power." 5 seconds later...

How often do you want your #2 hitter swinging for the fences? I think he's doing a great job in that slot, and is doing more with the bat than he was in 2007 when he was further down in the order

 

He's shown a lot of patience and I don't think he's lost any of his power, I think he's doing what ozzie probably has asked of him in the 2-hole

I don't think he's the 40-50 homer guy some have him pegged as, but more like the same type of home run totals Crede had.

I think he's a much better power hitter than Crede. I would expect Josh to more consistently be in the 30 HR range, or at least I believe he is capable of that.

 

PS: edited subtitle for accuracy :)

I'm very concerned. We all know his average probably won't stay above .263 for long, so he needs to bring something (power) to the table.

 

I think he needs to bring other things to the table, like spoons and forks, maybe a water pitcher with a lemon in it.
