Balta, you notice how much Dunn is having to dive across the plate to hit anything on the outer half? He really might be too far off the plate, as he used to have great power to the opposite field.

Watch him on the side view of his swing. I don't think I've seen a Sox player since Uribe whose head was moving so far forwards during the swing.

I grew up watching Peters, Horlen, John and Wood.

Peavy is in that category of pitcher.

No one and I mean no one on this staff comes close to him in ability.

You young folks have never seen an ace pitcher on the Sox.

Behold, this is an ace.

The issues that Dunn, Rios and Beckham have/had are pretty easy to see, so I'm sure Walker is doing his best to fix them. I'm sincere with that actually.

If you've noticed, Beckham's has already had serious work. He's striding much, much shorter than he was 2 weeks ago.

Players will resist the change at times because they're going to be at least somewhat comfortable with the mechanics they have, even if they are bad. They don't want to try to break out of a slump feeling even more uncomfortable at the plate than normal.

 

Needless to say they are wrong and probably do need to change, but sometimes it isn't clear especially for a player whether mechanics or approach are in need of a change and when to start messing with mechanics instead of approach or vice versa.
