Eh, to each is own, but the title got you to click on it and see the conversation. To me, that's not a bad title. I'm all about the page views! Seriously though, I don't see an issue with his title and the conversation is certainly valid. -
A bit premature to worry about this early. Plus they do platoon him with O’Hearn. I’d be selective when using him against righties. -

He just had a great game last night to bump his numbers, but he's having contact issues and still struggles to hit off speed and fastballs in the upper portion of the zone at times. He still has time to move up, but he seems to have these extreme good games and then kinda go in a funk for a bit. Let's see how he handles the rest of this series to see if it was just a great game of he's about to go on a heater.

I do think part of the problem of Orioles trained hitters when they arrive in the majors are the "wandering" strike zones of major league umpires. The Orioles minor league hitters are awarded positive scores for an at bat even when they are called out on strikes that are not really strikes. They are trained to not swing at pitches that they can't do damage on so they typically don't attack many pitches off the zone or near the edges unless they were fooled by the pitch. When they get to the majors, they have that same approach. Adley, Gunnar, Cowser, and Holliday all struggled at times by getting behind in counts and having to hit 1-2 or 0-2 too often, many times due to close pitches that were out of the zone getting called strikes. Westburg seemed to make the adjustments the best by cutting down his swing and going for contact over power initially. His power numbers were not good last year, but now he's made the adjustments and can now let it rip.
