Eduardo Perez: Fun With Numbers

[Ramp]

Just spoke with Eduardo Perez (I said he was doing a good job with Bonifacio and Hanley, he said "Thanks" and then we discussed the benefits of a 4-3-3 formation as opposed to a 4-3-1-2)... Anyway, I wanted to see how the team has hit since his first night on the job. Hanley and Bonifacio have been great. The youngsters are still struggling (although Logan and Gaby seem to be turning it around the last few games).

I forget who it was but they mentioned Eduardo had brought in a new mental approach to hitting that was vastly different from Mallee's. I think he deserves some credit for straightening out certain hitters. You could argue Hanley is so talented he was bound to figure it out, but there needs to be someone who can step in and focus his talent. This was the worst period in Hanley's baseball life and it must have been frustrating to the point where he got out of the routine that got him to the big leagues in order to solve it. This is where someone like Perez steps in and says, "Oye estas desesperado."
