Some people were saying Joc Pederson looked a little off balance during ST after some changes at the plate. He seems to be doing pretty well to start the season. Anyone have any knowledge of how he changed his swing/approach and what effect that will have on his play this year? I know last year it looked like he was swinging for the fences with huge cuts all the time and im curious as to if thats changed this yearComment

I think it's just the rust. This guy has been nails for 10 years, never hitting lower than .279 in any season. I bought him low yesterday (for Plouffe), and my only worry is that they're moving him all over the place, he may be more concerned about his defensive deficiencies than his hitting, but I think he'll bounce back fine.Originally posted by Pauly View PostComment

I agree. He's been too good for too long. However, this year is shaping up to be a lousy year from him, so what production you hoped to get will probably be lessened a bit, so plan accordingly.Originally posted by revo View PostComment

No concern that he may be on the downswing of his career? 10 years is a good run but maybe he isn't that player anymore.Originally posted by revo View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

I think that as long as Utley continues to swing the bat well, they will rotate both frequently to keep them fresh and healthy for the long haulComment

He already is on the downswing, as his power peaked in 2011 and his speed left after 2014. But concern after 40 ABs? No. His BABIP is .226 after a career where it's over .340. He's hit .295 over the last three seasons. I have no concerns that he's fallen off a cliff.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostComment

I should have said end of the line instead of downswing. I wouldn't roster him in a 12-14 team league.Originally posted by revo View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

On a serious note:
Is Turner's knee an issue as he has been pretty bad so far.
