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.

I should recant this statement.
Blalock has gone back to doing what he does best. He's hitting .328 with 6 HR and 26 RBI now. OBP of .398 and SLG % of .500.
