I can see the argument his swing is going to break down as he ages and starts to lose bat speed. So much going on in his swing, and he only gets away with it because of his quick wrists and bat speed.
Also makes me wonder if the guys who have been tutored in the minors by someone other than Jack Maloof (who was the minor league hitting coordinator before his failed stint as MLB hitting coach) are perhaps a little better off.

It would be nice if Boras convinced Hos to make Moose like changes to benefit his next contract.
