I didn't say he was wholly ineffective (though he was a real hollow offense sort of player over the 2nd half last year), I said he wasn't the power bat he'd been before the shoulder.
He was so good in that May that I was looking to buy one of those damn bats if they hadn't been sold out. I was sold on 'em, man. I don't roll my wrists worth a damn and his testimonials had me convinced that it would force better extension and follow through for me.
Seems like he may not have even believed the hype if he's not using them anymore. Glad I saved my $300...

He's also pretty openly admitted that he isn't comfortable hitting 1/2, but Cubs...
Just need to ride this Ian Happ hot streak and hit him #1 until he ultimately goes back to being Ian Happ.
