In 2012 he was really, really bad. I guess it’s open to interpretation how much of his ’12 performance was the result of injuries. Let’s hope it was a whole lot and he gets a lot better in 2013.

One would think he could at least mitigate his vulnerability to the same pitches, over and over again from left handed guys. One can almost call the pitches that will be used and when from the comfort of one’s sofa. If we know they’re coming, why does he seem so surprised? So unable to anticipate and see the pitch?

Is this just him? Is his vision from that side in need of corrective lenses? Or a coach who can see what is wrong? I just do not get it. He WAS. Good at this once. Where did that go, I wonder.
