I wish George Brett would come and talk some sense into Blalock. Last year all he tried to do was hit home runs. He would overswing almost every at-bat. He only hit 25 homeruns and .263 because he doesn't have the natural power of a player like David Ortiz or Juan Gonzalez in his prime.
Blalock could hit .320 every year if he would shorten up his stroke and become a line-drive hitter like Brett. And he would probably still hit 15-20 homeruns.
