I heard Mike Boddicker on 810 the other morning and he was talking about Hos, said with his stance right now he can ONLY hit it to left, and without power. He said if he keeps that up he won't hit more than 2 homers this year.

He also said it's something that's easily fixed, like in three days.

Dutton thinks they're just trying to get Hos to make consistent contact before they let him open his hips and pull the ball. I hope that's the plan. I hope it's not simply to keep his avg afloat with singles to left to buoy his confidence. At some point, for the team's sake, he has to hit with power.

I mean, look at his spray charts this year. He hit 19 homers his rookie year, and even in a bad year last year he hit 14. This year ... zip so far, hardly any long flyball outs either.

For the team to succeed, he's got to hit 20-25, IMO. If not that, at worst he'd have to hit .300 with 40-50 doubles. But a .275 singles hitter? Won't cut it.
